Beekeepers keep busy
When I was about six years old, I noticed what looked like chest-of-drawers sitting in many pastures in Texas. I found out that those wooden boxes contained commercial beehives. While honey production for humans is a nice bonus, the pollination of crops is their most important function. The Hereford cattle seem amused by the beekeepers. Actually, the cattle benefit because the bees pollinate the clover that cattle enjoy.
I photographed this scene on Steve Sandifer's Howard Branch HO scale layout during the November 2015 Fall Layout Tour.
