Brovald Moving Beehives

Image

Andrew C. Brovald moving a hive with a wooden wheelbarrow. A row of beehives are on the left, and more beehives are sitting in the grass in the background. In the wheelbarrow is a hive smoker, and a wooden box that probably holds tools. Leaning on the row of beehives is what appears to be a scythe.
