Beehives and houses share the frame here, a pairing the title makes plain and one that was common in rural life. Through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many families kept a few hives beside the home or in the garden, since honey was a prized sweetener and bees helped pollinate fruit trees and vegetable plots. Keeping bees close to the house made them easier to tend and often gave the household a point of pride. Look at how the hives and dwellings relate to one another in the scene, a reminder of how closely daily work and domestic life were tied to the animals around them.
