• ... Southern Beekeeper's Nature Reserve did not have an official name when it was gazette in 1979, but it was known locally as Southern Beekeeper's because beekeeping had been taking place in the area for generations, with 32 registered apiary sites located in the reserve....?

• New enough, long enough, and well sourced. No copyvio found. But the hook is way too long; a shorter alternative hook is needed. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:19, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

• ALT1: ... that while Southern Beekeeper's Nature Reserve had no official name when it was gazetted in 1979, it had been used for beekeeping for generations and had 32 registered apiary sites?
• ALT2: ... that Southern Beekeeper's Nature Reserve had no official name when it was gazetted in 1979, but had been used for beekeeping for generations?

• Ok, good to go. I prefer ALT2 but both are acceptable. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:03, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
