Description - Langstroth on the Hive and the Honey-Bee (Esprios Classics): A Bee Keeper's Manual by REV L L Langstroth
Rev. Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth (December 25, 1810 - October 6, 1895) was an American apiarist, clergyman, and teacher, and considered to be the father of American beekeeping. He created the modern day Langstroth hive. The Leaf Hive, invented in Switzerland in 1789 by François Huber, was a fully movable frame hive, but had solid frames that were touching and made up the "box." The combs in this hive were examined like pages in a book. Langstroth was popularly credited with discovering the "bee space," though this discovery had already been implemented in European hives. In 1853 he published The Hive and the Honey-Bee, which provided practical advice on bee. Langstroth on the Honey Bee was published in 1860.
