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. http://john-banks.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Try and ignore all the gruesome pictures. Sorry but It's what I found.
