This book was printed only 6 years after his first edition.

This book was written by Lorenzo Langstroth as a ground breaking publication into all aspects of bees and their care. In the late 1800’s Lorenzo sold his rights to this book to Dadant and Sons who evolved it into a very different book from what it was originally.
