Is that a colander veil? And is that a feather bee brush? "Beekeeper," ca. 1920. Likely Alberta. (CU1148515) at the UCalgary Glenbow Archives. #beehist #AgHist #beekeeping #honeybees

Great hat! Could double as a skep in a pinch. Use it to catch a swarm of bees, perhaps? No veil in sight. McGregor's Apiary, Inglewood, Ontario, 1913. Pic, John Boyd. LAC 1971-120 NPC. #beehist #beehistory #beekeeping

A little piece of Alberta beekeeping history in this tribute to 100-year-old former mayor of Coaldale, Alan Graham. The W&J Graham Commercial Honey Business was formed in 1922. #beehistory #beehist #albertahistory https://t.co/vGTn8I6Qlj

VERY interesting picture here from Vancouver Island, ca. 1912. Assuming these are unconventional hives for honeybees, even though they look like native bee hives. "A Chinese bee keeper and apiary; Union Bay." ca. 1912 @bcarchives A-03972 #beehist #envhist #CdnHist #beekeeping

A nice skep-load of bees. It ain't the venom that will kill you, it's the smoke inhalation! 3/5 #beekeeping #beehistory #beehist #animalhistory #pipes #smokinghistory

Caption in @GeorgiaArchives suggests a honey harvest, but I wonder if that suitcase contraption is used to make package bees? Philip Rossman, president of the Georgia Beekeepers Association holding frames in Moultrie, #Georgia, ca. 1950s https://t.co/CyFr6yqBUk

"Bees swarming on the arm of W.O. Voctor, Hondo, #Texas" @TSLAC 1975/070-601 https://t.co/R0tDMwxGFR Some interesting small frames there too. Perhaps queen mating nucs? #bees #honeybees #beehist

Seems appropriate for #BlackHistoryMonth The Bad #Beekeeper @ronmiksha on Charles Henry Turner (1867-1923), the man who discovered that bees can think. https://t.co/ocu6J4Xzsx #bees #beekeeping #histsci #beehist #honeybees #honeybee
