Bee Bear Figurenbeuten

The
Idea

“The oldest figure loots probably come from the early 17th century.”

“A figure prey is a hollowed-out tree trunk that is worked into sculpture and populated with a colony of bees.”

“In the 18th century, these trees were carved in some regions, the booty figures were born.”

“Figure hives have a long tradition and are anchored in beekeeping folk art.”

“Carved figure hives are among the lesser-known, but all the more striking works of rural folk art of the 18th and 19th centuries.”
