Description

Black and white photograph print of a car driving past several colonies of bees, circa 1920. The print is 5" x 7," possibly a newer print developed in the 1990s from an older negative. The image shows three rows of colonies seen from the side, with the car just behind them and trees in the background. Swarms of bees can be barely seen in the middle and right edge of the image. The colonies were part of the Crawford Honey Apiaries in Broomfield. Inscription in blue pencil on the reverse side states, "Crawford Honey Scoopers."
