The Map
Please allow time for Google to place about 300 flags from the data file onto the Map….
This map, above, contains flags for each person, by Zip Code, who has sent an email to LLL200[at]scifri[dot]org expressing their support for a commemorative stamp in honor of the Rev. LL Langstroth, the Father of American Beekeeping on the eve of his 200th birthday, December 25, 2010. Holding your cursor over a flag will reveal the flag location and names within that Zip Code.
We’ll be sending out progress reports via Twitter @ DTESFI

I am with you on supporting a stamp to honor Rev. Langstroth. with the decline in bees we need to bring some recognition to this time honored trade and occupation.
A Bee – U tiful idea….You have my support. Pete
I’d love to try and help get the stramp approved !
North Carolina
Lovely idea!
It would bee wonderful to see Rev. L.L.Langstroth recognized/ recognizable on a stamp.A honey of an idea.
We may be depending on bees for our future.
We should honor the man who allowed us to care for so many untold billions of bees.
I think a stamp is a wonderful idea. All of us beekeepers know about Langstroth but the rest of the world should celebrate him as well.
I agree with Todd, I think this is a great way to get people more aware of the importance of bees in our culture.
What a nice way for us all to learn some history,,,,,,,love it!
I think this is a wonderful idea. I found out about it through the Great Sunflower Project, & I’m mailing my letter today.

I think a Langstroth stamp would be perfect in a set of four: the Rev. Langstroth, a close-up of a honey bee with a hive in the background, one with native flowers, and one with a cornucopia of bee-pollinated food!
Great idea!
Such a contribution to agriculture and science deserves to be recognized! I say let’s all celebrate Langstroth’s birthday on a US postage stamp.
I wholeheartedly support a stamp honoring Rv. Langstroth. Bees are so important to our food supply, and more people need to be educated about them. A stamp will help, and also pay tribute to Langstroth!
Go Bees
Please create the commemorative stamp for Langstroth. No Bees and we’d lose a great food chain. Feed & Green the Earth!
Without Rev. Langstroth’s contributions to modern-day beekeeping who knows where all the crops and gardens would be – please honor his 200th birthday with a commemorative stamp
You have my support in requesting a commemorative stamp for L.L. Langstroth, and his groundbreaking work on honey bees. Our world would change dramatically if not for the bee!

This is a nice idea, and will bring some public recognition to the importance of bees.
Yes, you have my support. Rev. Langstroth is a very, very worthy candidate. The most valuable contribution to beekeeping in 200 years.
Yes, it would be wonderful to honor beekeeping and American History in this way!
By having a stamp for Langstroth would be a wonderful way to honor all the beekeepers (present and past)!
YES! Help our Bees!
Bee keepers rock!
What a wonderful idea – I had no idea this Mr. Langstroth was the father of modern beekeeping. Long live the honeybee and its keepers!
Yes! Bees help the food supply of the planet with pollination and honey and thanks to Rev. Langstroth we can harvest honey without negatively impacting the bees. Let’s have a Langstroth stamp.
Langstroth deserves a stano, IOur bees are in trouble and we need to call attention to beekeeping and all that bees to for us.
Langstroth’s design made it possible to harvest from hives without destroying them every year, fundamentally changing our relationship with this species and contributing toward its domestication.
Thanks to Langstroth beekeepers no longer have to destroy the bees in order to get honey from the hive. I can only imagine how many calm bees do not exist anymore before his discovery. His honeybee space changed and made american beekeeping what it is today. Bees wax and honey was used by the U.S. military in most of the past 200 years for water proofing and medicine as well as a sweetner. We really owe Langstroth for more than most know.
Lorenzo should have the honor of going postal. Without Rev. Langstroth the neutrino might never have been discovered–because Clyde L. Cowan was his great grandson.
Im in Nevada, that big white hole in the west. 89703.
It was a good bee year this year. Big fat ones everywhere!

I strongly think he should be acknowledged
As a beekeeper I thank Langstroth for making my job much easier and enjoyable. I think Langstroth’s stamp is a good start in acknowledging the contribution he has made to the honey bees existence.
Yes! A stamp for Langstroth will spark curiousity, help to educate young and old, and perhaps open discussions about the need to plant bee friendly flora.
Hooray. Well deserved. Great idea to educate those who might know the impact or importance of his invention.
