I have always enjoyed looking at old Beekeeping photos. Does anyone have any interesting old pictures?

Dig around online and you may find pictures of bee hives that got shot up in the battle of Gettysburg.
Photography was fairly new at that time so I suspect that'd be the oldest pictures of bee hives (that I have ever seen).
Scroll down to "Saturday September 14"
The third photo down clearly shows overturned bee hives.

Try and ignore all the gruesome pictures. Sorry but It's what I found.
