Langstroth subsequently published a book called A Practical Treatise on the Hive and Honey-Bee,Langstroth, L.L. A Practical Treatise on the Hive and Honey-Bee, 1878 nowadays commonly known as The Hive and the Honey Bee or, under the title with which it was re-issued in 2004, as Langstroth's Hive and the Honey-Bee: The Classic Beekeeper's Manual. In this book, Langstroth described the proper dimensions and use of the modern beehive as we know it today. Langstroth's book went through several editions until about 1900, but in all of them, the hive that is illustrated is the same as the original design.
