Albert, Prince Consort, showing his hives to Queen Victoria. Albert (1819-1861) introduced improved bee hives to the royal apiaries, allowing honey to be harvested and bee colonies preserved with just enough honey to exist over winter. The bee hive the royal couple are examining contains tiny figures representing workers and tradesmen. The tower of Windsor Castle can be seen in the background.
