L. Langstroth in 1853. This practical treatise made available to the world his fundamental discovery of the bee space and his invention of the top~opening, movable~frame hive which made modern beekeeping possible. More than a century has passed since Lang stroth's discovery, but our system of beekeeping still is based on his hive and methods. ~ Charles Dadant emigrated to America in 1863 with his son, Camille Pierre, and, together, they dedicated their lives to beekeeping throughout the world. The present Dadant organization, which represents the fourth and fifth generations, is privileged to carry on that tradition of devotion to the knowledge of bees and beekeeping and celebrates one hundred and twenty~nine years of service to the industry with the publication of this book.
