Beekeeping, 19th century

Beekeeping, 19th-century artwork. Beekeeper extracting honey from honeycombs obtained from a beehive. Bees collect nectar from a wide range of flowering plants, bringing it back to their hive to store it and form honey. The honey is used as food by bee larva, and is also collected by beekeepers for human consumption. The most commonly domesticated bee is the common honey bee (Apis mellifera). Artwork from the 20th volume (second period of 1897) of the French popular science weekly La Science Illustree

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork captures the timeless practice of beekeeping, showcasing a European male beekeeper delicately extracting honey from honeycombs obtained from a bustling beehive. The bees, tirelessly collecting nectar from an array of flowering plants, bring it back to their hive to store and transform into golden honey. This sweet substance serves as nourishment for the bee larvae and is also eagerly collected by skilled apiarists for human consumption. The focal point of this monochrome illustration is the dedicated beekeeper, his weathered hands expertly maneuvering through the intricate honeycomb structure. His presence in the idyllic countryside evokes a sense of tranquility and connection with nature that has long been associated with farming practices. Dating back to 1897, this historical artwork originates from the renowned French popular science weekly La Science Illustree's annual volume. Created by Louis Figuier, it showcases not only the technological advancements in apiculture but also highlights its significance in agriculture during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how humans have harnessed nature's bountiful resources throughout history. It serves as a testament to our enduring relationship with bees and their vital role in providing sustenance for both themselves and humanity.
