EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a vintage drawing titled "Life of bees: noise to keep bees away" by A. Giraudon in 1914. The artwork, housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, showcases the creative genius of Adolphe Giraudon. Intriguingly, the drawing depicts a beekeeper utilizing an unconventional method to ward off bees - through music. Holding a drum and tambourine, he stands beside his beehive ready to create rhythmic sounds that supposedly repel these buzzing insects. This unique approach highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of beekeepers throughout history. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia as it transports us back to early 20th-century beekeeping practices. It serves as a reminder that humans have long sought innovative ways to coexist with nature's creatures. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this print beautifully captures every intricate detail of Giraudon's original work. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to the drawing while preserving its historical charm. As we admire this snapshot from the past, let us appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and the fascinating relationship between humans and bees. Whether through art or science, our efforts to understand and protect these vital pollinators continue into modern times.
