EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Prince Alberts Apiary, Sholls New Bee-Hive" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of beekeeping. The image showcases an apiary belonging to Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, and features his innovative creation - the Sholls New Bee-Hive. The scene is bustling with activity as bees buzz around their hives. The folding partition in each hive allows for easy inspection and management of the colonies. Surplus honey cases are stacked neatly nearby, ready to be harvested by skilled beekeepers. The apiary itself is a sight to behold. A pavilion stands proudly at its center, serving as both a functional space for tending to the bees and a regal structure fitting for royalty. Atop this pavilion sits Prince Albert's top hive - an architectural marvel that showcases his dedication to advancing beekeeping techniques. Sholls Bee Hive, designed by Mr. Sholl himself, is prominently featured in this engraving. Its unique barrel shape sets it apart from traditional hives of that time period and highlights Prince Albert's commitment to innovation within the field. This remarkable print not only captures the beauty of nature but also pays homage to Prince Albert's passion for beekeeping and his contributions towards improving apiculture practices during his era.
