EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to a time between the wars, where England's oldest beekeeper, 85-year-old Mr C. T. Overton of Crawley, Sussex, is showcasing his expertise at the prestigious National Honey Show in Westminster. With over five decades of experience under his belt since he first started keeping bees in 1882, Mr Overton stands as a living testament to the timeless art of beekeeping. The image captures a heartwarming moment as Mr Overton shares his knowledge with fellow enthusiast J. W. Marsh from Woking. At 75 years old and having kept bees since 1886 himself, Marsh eagerly listens as Mr Overton demonstrates the intricacies of a beehive section rack. The exchange between these two seasoned beekeepers is filled with mutual respect and admiration for their shared passion. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time on September 2nd, 1937, it becomes clear that this photo represents more than just an exhibition at a honey show; it symbolizes generations united by their love for apiary and dedication to preserving nature's delicate balance through beekeeping. This monochrome gem from TopFoto. co. uk serves as both a historical document and an ode to those who have dedicated their lives to nurturing these incredible creatures - bees - whose importance cannot be overstated in our ecosystem.
