Who is credited with the development of the modern beehive?

Carl von Frisch
Charles Mason
L. L. Langstroth
George Washington Carver

The correct answer is: L. L. Langstroth

The development of the modern beehive is credited to L. L. Langstroth due to his invention of the movable frame hive in the mid-19th century. Langstroth's design allowed beekeepers to inspect and manage bee colonies without destroying the hive, which was a significant advancement in apiculture. His concept of spacing frames to allow bees to build their combs efficiently led to better honey production and easier hive management. This innovative approach fundamentally changed beekeeping practices, enabling more sustainable and productive apiculture methods. Langstroth's contributions are recognized as the foundation for most modern beehives used today, ensuring that the practice of beekeeping evolved into a more scientific and accessible endeavor.
