EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Life of Bees: The Smoke of Hives" takes us back to the year 1914, where artist A. Giraudon skillfully captures the essence of beekeeping. The drawing, housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, showcases Giraudon's talent for detail and his ability to bring life to his subjects. In this particular piece, we are transported into a world filled with buzzing activity as a beekeeper tends to his hives. Wisps of smoke rise from the beehive entrances, creating an ethereal atmosphere that adds intrigue to the scene. This technique is known as smoking hives and is used by beekeepers to calm bees during hive inspections. Giraudon's meticulous strokes beautifully depict each element within the composition – from the intricate structure of the beehive itself to every individual honeybee diligently going about its work. The image serves as a reminder of nature's delicate balance and highlights humanity's symbiotic relationship with these remarkable creatures. Leonard de Selva expertly captures this timeless artwork through his lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this stunning print today, we are reminded not only of Giraudon's artistic prowess but also our continued fascination with bees and their vital role in our ecosystem.
