New Beekeeper with Books
Image
Black and white drawing of a beekeeper sitting on a hive box leaning against a tree, his chin resting on his hand. He is holding a book titled "The Hive and the Honeybee," and a book, "How to Keep Bees" lies on the ground. In the left bottom corner of the page, a box with "Live Bees" and "Rush" written on it lies on its side. An open beehive is on the ground in front of him, and the man is squinting up at bees flying from the beehive towards a swarm on a tree branch above his head.
