Lorenzo L. Langstroth historical marker at 106 S. Front St., Philadelphia PA. Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth (December 25, 1810 – October 6, 1895) was an American apiarist, clergyman, and teacher, who has been called the father of American beekeeping. [1] He recognized the concept of bee-space, a minimum distance that bees avoid sealing up.
Lorenzo Langstroth grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was the second oldest of eight children.

In beekeeping, a Langstroth hive is any vertically modular beehive that has the key features of vertically hung frames, a bottom board with entrance for the bees, boxes containing frames for brood and honey (the lowest box for the queen to lay eggs, and boxes above where honey may be stored) and an inner cover and top cap to provide weather protection.
