Prince Albert's Bee-Hives, 1843 - A Royal Endeavor in Honey Harvesting
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1843 showcases the innovative beekeeping practices of Prince Albert (1819-1861), consort to Queen Victoria. The cartoon depicts the royal couple standing proudly beside a magnificent castle, presumably Windsor Castle, as they oversee their unique beehive construction. The caption explains that these hives were designed with utmost care to allow for honey extraction without harming the bees. This forward-thinking approach demonstrates Prince Albert's commitment to both nature and innovation. In this satirical illustration from Punch or The London Charivari magazine, we witness a charming moment between husband and wife. Queen Victoria is elegantly dressed in her trademark Victorian attire while Prince Albert dons a distinguished top hat. Their partnership extends beyond their marriage as they engage together in this occupation of beekeeping. As monarchs of Great Britain and Ireland, their dedication to such an intimate task reveals their down-to-earth nature and love for all creatures great and small. It also sheds light on Prince Albert's German heritage, as he brings his knowledge of beekeeping practices from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. This print not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a testament to the multifaceted interests and passions of one of history's most influential power couples – Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
