Every modern beehive descends from this book. L. L. Langstroth, the father of American beekeeping, discovered the bee space and invented the movable-frame hive, then explained it all in this landmark 1853 manual: the life of the colony, swarms and queens, hive construction, and humane, profitable management. Generations of beekeepers learned the craft here, and the fundamentals have never gone out of date. This is the source, wise, practical, and full of love for the bees. Lift the frames with the man who made it possible.
