Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of John G. and Rebekah (Dunn) Langstroth.
He graduated from Yale College in 1831.
From 1834 to 1836 Langstroth was tutor in mathematics at the same institution. During this time also he took a course in theology and in May 1836 he became pastor of the South Congregational Church at Andover, Massachussets; but owing to ill health he was compelled to resign in 1838.
He next became principal of the Abbot Academy in Andover, resigning in 1839 when he became principal of the Greenfield (Massachussets) High School for Young Ladies, a position he held for five years. In 1844 he resumed his pastoral work, taking the Second Congregational Church at Greenfield. Four years later he resigned this position to become principal of a school for young ladies at Philadelphia. He remained in this work until 1852 when he moved to Oxford, Ohio.
It was here that he took up the work in beekeeping for which he is best known. There had been other so-called movable-frame hives before his day, but the frames after being in use for a short time became almost immovable, making a hive little, if any, better than the old box hives or log gums. His invention of movable-frame beehive consisted in the discovery of the bee space (approximately five-sixteenths of an inch) which bees keep open without filling with comb or honey. Around his frame, hanging on projections from the upper corners, he provided a bee space on all four sides between the hive and frame and between the frames themselves. As the bees would not fill these spaces, the frames were not fastened by combs or bee glue. Hence they were always movable.
Besides inventing a hive and frame, Langstroth was a pioneer in many of the methods of management that later came to be common practice in the production of carloads of honey. All of these are well set forth in his book, Langstroth on the Hive and the Honey-bee, first published in 1853. After a revision by C. P. Dadant it was republished in 1888 under the title: The Honey Bee.
Many of the practices and theories later supposed to be new were first set forth by Langstroth. But as has been the case with many other pioneers and inventors, he was ridiculed and then robbed of the fruits of his invention. So great was the persecution that he suffered severe mental distress. For months at a time he would refuse to see his friends, much less talk on the subject of bees. Fortunately, however, he recovered and lived to see the day when his invention received almost universal adoption. He could have distinguished himself in many fields but he chose beekeeping because it brought him close to nature. He died at Dayton at the home of one of his daughters.

He was a man of commanding presence and a charming conversationalist.
Langstroth was married, on August 22, 1836, to Anne M. Tucker of New Haven, Connecticut, by whom he had three children.
