(Image Right) Young woman with swarm, as it appeared in Gleanings in Bee Culture. 1899, Page 938. Beekeeping was popular in the USA during the 19 c and early 20 c. Women at the time were expected to tend the bees along with the many other household chores. Women were often quite successful at keeping bees, with apiaries that sometimes grew to over 100 colonies. The image shows her wearing clothing typically worn by women working in the apiary during the period.
