EDITORS COMMENTS
Apiary of wooden hives, Lismore, Ireland, 1890. This print captures a moment in rural life from the late 19th century. In this image, we see a woman dressed in Victorian protective clothing and wearing a veil to shield herself from the bees. With her trusty bellows in hand, she skillfully puffs smoke into the hive to calm the bees before opening it. The scene exudes an air of tranquility as the woman goes about her occupation as a beekeeper with utmost care and precision. The intricate engravings on each wooden hive showcase the craftsmanship involved in creating these essential homes for honeybees. This photograph not only highlights the importance of agriculture and food production but also sheds light on women's roles in professions traditionally dominated by men. The lady depicted here challenges societal norms by fearlessly engaging with nature's tiny yet powerful creatures. Located in Munster County Waterford, Ireland, this apiary stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our harmonious relationship with animals. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect these vital pollinators who play an integral role in sustaining our ecosystem. Preserved through time by Ann Ronan Pictures, this print allows us to travel back to 1890s Ireland and witness firsthand the dedication required for beekeeping during that era.
