Rev. Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth (December 25, 1810 - October 6, 1895) was an American apiarist, preacher, and educator who is often regarded as the "Father of American Beekeeping." He designed the contemporary Langstroth hive. Langstroth was born on December 25, 1810 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Yale University in 1831 and worked as a tutor there from 1834 to 1835. Following this, he served as pastor of many Congregational churches in Massachusetts, including the South Church in Andover, Massachusetts, in May 1836. He was the pastor of the Second Congregational Church in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from 1843 until 1848. In 1948, national beekeeper E.F. Phillips and others erected a massive granite memorial on the church's front yard. Langstroth was appointed principal of a young women' school in Greenfield, Massachusetts, in 1848. The Leaf Hive, created by François Huber in Switzerland in 1789, was a fully mobile frame hive with solid frames contacting and forming the "box." The combs in this hive were scrutinized as if they were pages in a book. "The use of the Huber hive had satisfied me that, with proper precautions, the combs might be removed without enraging the bees, and that these insects were capable of being tamed to a surprising degree," Langstroth wrote.
