This print takes us back in time to the enchanting apiary of wooden hives nestled in the picturesque town of Lismore, Ireland. The focal point of this image is a woman wearing a protective veil, skillfully utilizing bellows to puff smoke into a hive. Her purpose? To render the bees less aggressive before opening their sanctuary. Engraved with meticulous detail, this illustration from The English Illustrated Magazine transports us to London in 1890, offering a glimpse into the world of beekeeping during that era. It serves as a testament to the timeless practice of tending to these remarkable creatures for their golden sweetness - honey. The woman's presence exudes both caution and determination as she delicately handles her task. Behind her lies an array of wooden hives, each housing its own bustling colony. This scene epitomizes the harmonious relationship between humans and nature; where agriculture meets artistry. Beekeeping has long been regarded not only as an occupation but also as an ancient craft passed down through generations. These diligent insects play an essential role in pollination and food production, making them vital contributors to our ecosystem. As we admire this historic engraving captured over a century ago, let us appreciate the dedication it represents towards preserving nature's delicate balance while reaping its bountiful rewards – sweet nectar that brings joy and sustenance to countless lives around the world.
