This influential guide by the Reverend L. L. Langstroth, "the father of modern beekeeping," revolutionized the practice of beekeeping. Originally published in 1853, his work constitutes the first descriptive treatise of modern bee management -- its innovations allowed people to engage in actual beekeeping, rather than simply handling bee domiciles and extracting the honey. This book explains and illustrates techniques still employed 150 years later -- including the author's patented invention, a movable frame hive that quickly spread into common use around the world.
In his reader-friendly, nontechnical style, Langstroth addresses every aspect of beekeeping: bee physiology; diseases and enemies of bees; the life-cycles of the queen, drone, and worker; bee-hives; and the handling of bees. An infectious sense of wonder and enthusiasm suffuses Langstroth's accounts of natural and artificial swarming, the production of honey and wax, and the best methods of feeding bees and maintaining an apiary. The manual abounds in practical and intriguing insights attained through the years of observation and experience, including "the kindness of bees to one another," "their infatuation for liquid sweets," and "the warning given by bees before stinging."
This version of Langstroth's ever-popular manual is the fourth and final edition; it incorporates the author's own revisions and remains an unsurpassed resource for beekeepers.

Dog loved it!
Pattern Name: Pumpkin, Size: Large
This was a fall-themed gift for our friends' large dog. He really liked it -- especially the squeaker -- and enjoyed quietly chewing on it during our visit. By the time we left, it was still in good shape. We've given their dog other chew toys, and they are usually pretty beaten up by the time we leave, but this toy still looked and squeaked fine. No telling what it looks like now, but I can definitely say it survived at least 2 days of heavy dog chewing.

Perfect Pumpkin for Rough Chewers!
Pattern Name: Pumpkin, Size: Large
This is the perfect chew toy for any larger dogs that chew rough! Wow! This thing has held up for over a month without a tear or piece torn off. Soooo durable! We have a 5 year old Boxer and she destroys most toys, not this one. She loves the squeaker and we love that she can’t get it out and destroy it! Total win. Plus, it’s cute for Fall/Halloween fun for your fur baby!

Holds up to chewing, but squeaker didn't last.
Pattern Name: Pumpkin, Size: Large
This pumpkin dog toy for aggressive chewers has held up to the chewing, but the squeaker, which they boasted as indestructible didn't hold up. It lasted maybe 12 hours and now it no longer squeaks which takes away a lot of the fun for my dog.
