EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 1900s, we are transported to an unidentified location in Cornwall, where two gentlemen proudly pose amidst a collection of beehives. The image exudes a sense of timeless charm and offers a glimpse into the world of beekeeping during that era. One gentleman stands confidently, holding a copy of The British Bee Journal, perhaps indicating his passion for these industrious creatures. His knowledge and dedication to their care is evident in his demeanor. Meanwhile, the other man captures our attention with his attire resembling that of a railway guard's uniform. This intriguing detail raises questions about his connection to both beekeeping and the railways. The photograph's unknown photographer has skillfully captured not only the subjects but also the serene beauty surrounding them. We can almost feel the gentle buzz of bees at work as they diligently tend to their hives amidst lush greenery. This remarkable snapshot serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich history and its deep-rooted relationship with nature. It invites us to reflect on how beekeeping practices have evolved over time while reminding us of our responsibility towards preserving these vital pollinators. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this print allows us to appreciate an intimate moment frozen in time—a tribute to those who dedicated themselves to nurturing honeybees and safeguarding their invaluable contribution to our ecosystem.
