  • Summary

  • In this enlightening episode, Jim takes listeners on a historical journey through the evolution of beekeeping hives. Delving into the storied past of traditional box hives, Jim reflects on a unique box hive he acquired, which was originally built in 1853—the same year L.L. Langstroth revolutionized beekeeping with his patented removable frame hive.

    This episode not only explores the construction and historical significance of traditional box hives but also juxtaposes them with the transformative hanging frame designs that followed. Jim discusses how these simple, yet effective hives played a crucial role in the beekeeping landscape of the past and ponders why such methods were gradually phased out despite their effectiveness. Rich with anecdotes and a deep appreciation for beekeeping heritage, this episode is a must-listen for those interested in the roots and evolutionary paths of their craft.
