1555 Bee Keeping Bees Beware Dangerous Intoxicated
EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print from 1555 depicts a truly bizarre and dangerous phenomenon - intoxicated bees. In the world of beekeeping, it was once believed that when bees consumed fermented nectar or alcohol, they would become aggressive and unpredictable, posing a serious threat to anyone who crossed their path.
The image captures a swarm of bees in a state of intoxication, buzzing erratically and ready to attack anything in their way. The warning "Beware of bees when they are intoxicated - they become dangerous!" serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers that these seemingly harmless insects can pose under certain circumstances.
In this snapshot of history, we are reminded of the intricate relationship between humans and nature, as well as the importance of understanding and respecting the behaviors of even the smallest creatures on Earth. It is a testament to the ancient wisdom passed down through generations of beekeepers, who have learned to navigate the complexities of working with these tiny but powerful insects.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this unique piece of history for us to marvel at and reflect upon. It serves as a reminder that while bees may be essential pollinators in our ecosystem, they also have their own set of rules and behaviors that must be respected if we are to coexist peacefully with them.
