EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a female beekeeper hard at work tending to her colonies. The detailed illustration depicts the woman driving bees from one skep to another in order to clear the combs, showcasing her expertise and dedication to her craft. In the middle of the print, we see wooden hives, likely Langstroth hives with movable frames, highlighting the advanced techniques used by this skilled beekeeper. At the bottom of the image, a frame of honey partially capped gives us a glimpse into the sweet rewards of her labor. The scene is bustling with activity as bees buzz around and pollen fills the air. The woman's focus and determination are evident as she tends to her bee yard with care and precision. This historical artwork not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a reminder of the important role that female beekeepers have played throughout history. Their knowledge and passion for beekeeping have helped sustain these vital pollinators and ensure a steady supply of honey, beeswax, propolis, royal jelly, and more. Overall, this enchanting print celebrates both the beauty of nature and the dedication of women in traditionally male-dominated fields like beekeeping.
