Unit Definition (zeptometer)
The zeptometre (or zeptometer), symbol: zm, is an SI unit of metric length measurement. 1 zeptometre is 1e-21 metres, which is a very small distance

Unit Definition (bee space)
The Bee Space is an informal unit of distance used in beekeeping. In a hive, bees seal up an opening smaller than a bee space, and they fill a larger opening with new honeycomb. If an opening is equal to a bee space, the bees leave it open as a passageway. A hive can be disassembled to remove the honey if the individual comb frames are carefully spaced one bee space apart. This discovery, made by the British beekeeper Lorenzo Longstroth in 1852, is crucial to modern beekeeping. The exact size of the bee space varies somewhat with the strain of bees being raised, but it is generally very close to 1/4 inch or 6.5 millimeters.
