EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the rural life of beekeepers preparing to take a swarm. The scene is set at the bottom of a tree adorned with straw beehives, known as skeps, which were commonly used in apiaries during that time. The image reflects the agricultural traditions established by Virgil in Roman times, emphasizing the continuity of these practices throughout history. It transports us to ancient Rome, where food production and self-sufficiency were crucial for survival. In this snapshot of rural Italy, we see two men engrossed in their occupation as bee catchers and keepers. Their weathered faces tell stories of hard work and dedication as they tend to their bees. Beekeeping was not only an essential profession but also served as a source of sustenance for many impoverished peasants. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this engraving from an 18th-century edition of Virgil's Georgics. It captures both the beauty and simplicity found within nature's intricate ecosystem. As we admire this print, let us appreciate the humble yet vital role played by these anonymous individuals who dedicated themselves to preserving one of nature's most fascinating creatures – bees.
