I found a cache of lovely bee-keeping images at Google Books and posted them online at Backwards Beekeeper.
I was looking for stories about honey caves - huge caves, filled with hives maybe 100s of years old. These pristine caves were mined with dynamite by pioneers and settlers who wanted to remove as much honey as they could. But imagine the scent and the noise in a honey cave.
The photos I've posted come from various bee-keeping journals which explicitly speak of bee fever - a phenomenon as real then, as now.
