The Artifacts  Frames  Used to store honey and baby bees  Honey  Used to feed the hive and help last through winter  Smoker  Calms hives in order for beekeeper to open them up These artifacts all represent crucial components of the beekeeping process

Frames  These are the walls, shelves, and furniture inside the beehive  Bee larvae develop in the small holes in the frame  These holes also give the bees a place to store honey which is then consumed and stored for the winter  Frames give the hive much more surface area and which provides for greater efficiency and is helpful for staying warm in the winter

Honey  One of the main purposes for beekeeping, a major product bought and sold throughout the world  Honey is used as a main source of food for bees, used by people as a sweetener and tasty addition to most dishes  A symbol for beekeeping  Lasts forever

Smoker  Used at beekeeper’s discretion  Smokers calm the bees in order to reduce their aggravation, this allows beekeepers to open up hives with less risk of getting stung  A smoker says a lot about a beekeepers experience and feelings about their beehives
