About this product

Product Information

This influential guide by the Reverend L. L. Langstroth, "the father of modern beekeeping," revolutionized the practice of beekeeping. Originally published in 1853, his work constitutes the first descriptive treatise of modern bee management -- its innovations allowed people to engage in actual beekeeping, rather than simply handling bee domiciles and extracting the honey. This book explains and illustrates techniques still employed 150 years later -- including the author's patented invention, a movable frame hive that quickly spread into common use around the world. In his reader-friendly, nontechnical style, Langstroth addresses every aspect of beekeeping: bee physiology; diseases and enemies of bees; the life-cycles of the queen, drone, and worker; bee-hives; and the handling of bees. An infectious sense of wonder and enthusiasm suffuses Langstroth's accounts of natural and artificial swarming, the production of honey and wax, and the best methods of feeding bees and maintaining an apiary. The manual abounds in practical and intriguing insights attained through the years of observation and experience, including "the kindness of bees to one another," "their infatuation for liquid sweets," and "the warning given by bees before stinging." This version of Langstroth's ever-popular manual is the fourth and final edition; it incorporates the author's own revisions and remains an unsurpassed resource for beekeepers.

Not an ebook at all! These books have been computer scanned and then mass produced on $0.50 disks with a low rent printed label. I question copy right laws and doubt they have been followed! Is what it is I guess for the price! Did deliver and on time so I’ll stay neutral!

  • a textbook by the original beeekeeper

    A must for anyone becoming a beekeeper - very thorough, tells about beekeeping through history. Amazingly, beekeeping has changed very little, has vivid descriptions of the honey bee and it's importance to human life and our food source.

  • Langstroth's Hive and the Honey-Bee by L.L. Langstroth
