1. Title: A 1960s Beekeeper in Protective Gear Examining the Queen Excluder in a Brood Box This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a dedicated beekeeper from the 1960s in the midst of his meticulous work. Clad in a protective jacket, hat, veil, and gloves, he carefully removes the Queen Excluder grid from the brood box. The beekeeper's attire was essential for minimizing the risk of stings and ensuring a safe and efficient beekeeping experience. The Queen Excluder, a rectangular grid, is a crucial component of beekeeping. Its purpose is to prevent the queen bee from laying eggs in the honey supers, allowing the bees to focus on producing honey instead. The beekeeper's attentiveness and expertise are evident as he handles the excluder with care, ensuring that it is clean and free of debris. The hive, a symbol of the rich history of beekeeping, stands tall and sturdy behind him. The intricate design and construction of the hive reflect the dedication and craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. The bees, busy and industrious, can be seen buzzing around the hive, adding to the bustling scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional methods and equipment used by beekeepers during the 1960s. Despite the passage of time, the fundamental principles of beekeeping – the importance of protective gear, the role of the Queen Excluder, and the symbiotic relationship between beekeepers and their bees – remain unchanged. The image is a testament to the enduring allure and significance of beekeeping, a practice that continues to captivate and inspire individuals around the world. This photograph, preserved in the Mary Evans Picture Library, serves as a valuable historical record and a reminder of the rich heritage of beekeeping.
