Published in 1502 as part of Sebastian Brant's edition, this woodcut engraving beautifully depicts an interpretation of life on the farm. The image showcases a picturesque rural idyll, where beekeepers work harmoniously amidst beehives buzzing with activity. The beekeepers' faces radiate happiness as they go about their apiculture duties, ensuring the well-being of their precious swarm. Their expertise in husbandry is evident as they delicately handle the hives, fostering an environment conducive to honey making. This snapshot into a simpler time reminds us of the joys that can be found in nature and traditional practices.
