Oddly enough, among all of the wonderful illustrations I’ve shared with everyone here on Reusable Art, it is a bee image that remains the most popular. (both here and on Pinterest) It’s not this vintage bee engraving; this fellow came much later than that one. But, it’s still pretty cool. It’s a single bee, isolated on a white background.
This bee was featured in an advertisement for Quinby’s Bee Keeping. His ad was posted in the American Agriculturist volume 26 from 1867.
