“In 1852, the modern beehive was patented. Its subsequent success largely eliminated diversity in beehive design and led to the obsolescence of a varied history of alternative beekeeping techniques. Through an array of archival images, this book uncovers that forgotten history, offering a renewed perspective which challenges conventional historical linear narratives and creates a common ground for future beehive research.” Hives’ blurb co-written with the visual anthropologist Ellen Lapper.
