Summary "Langstroth on the Hive and the Honey-Bee: A Bee Keeper's Manual" by L. L. Langstroth is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The work serves as a comprehensive manual for beekeepers, focusing on the various aspects of bee culture, management, and the intricate workings of the beehive. It aims to advance the understanding of beekeeping and highlight the significance and complexity of honey bees within nature. The opening of the book begins with a preface that outlines the author's motivations and aspirations for the manual. L. L.
