I'm a hobbyist beekeeper. The rain of late here in Ann Arbor, Michigan
has kept my bees indoors a lot. But that's not why I'm writing.

My day job is that of programmer at the University of Michigan's
Digital Library Production Service. One project of DLPS is the "Making
of America" where page images (and the OCR-ed text, not 100% accurate
but at least searchable) of books printed in the US between 1850 and
1875 mostly (other years are represented too) are made available to
the world via the Web. A colleague of mine, while searching for the
phrase "working class" came upon Langstroth's treatise. I didn't know
we had it. For those of you interested in perusing it, point your
