Description

This unsigned photograph depicting a cluster of beehives was taken by Doris Ulmann in the early 1930s at an unidentified Appalachian location. The 4 logs and 2 boxes were used as beehives. Note the holes cut into the bottom of the containers. Rocks and logs on top hold the lids in place until the farmer is ready to harvest the honey. This small shed would have been an out building on the farm.
