1910 - A. W. Smith's Apiary in Parksville, New York

I was cruising the vintage photos on eBay and found by chance a photo of a negative identified as A. W. Smith's Bee Yard in Parksville, New York.  

I copied it and flipped the colors so I could see the photo below.  Looks like Mr. Smith, his horse, and wife and two children in his apiary.  I searched online for Mr. Smith and found he was an active beekeeper for at least a couple decades. 

I always think of how these men and women in old photos didn't have varroa mites to deal with.  *sigh*
