Limited edition giclée print of The Beekeeper III from The Jobs of Yesteryear Series.

This particular Job of Yesteryear mixed media painting features a beekeeper. Beekeeping has been a part of human existence for over 10,000 years when it was practiced in modern Georgia (country, not the state). Since then, the dance between man and bee has been largely a productive one, netting happy hives and bountiful honey harvests. The protective suits available to apiarists have evolved over the years, with a medieval version shown in my painting. These utilized a woven basket over the face, protecting the most vulnerable area of the beekeeper while still allowing enough vision to perform delicate procedures. The hive has also evolved from its former woven version to the ubiquitous, modern stacked box version that is used by most beekeepers today.
