Sherlock Holmes Among the Bees

Sir Conan and Lady Doyle are here being initiated into the mysteries of bee-keeping by Mr. H. L. Jones, of Redbank Plains apiary. Despite the fact that Sir Conan Doyle "retired" his great creation, Sherlock Holmes, to a bee-farm, the famous author had his first insight into bee-farming on Thursday. It is an amusing coincidence that the nets which the visitors are wearing as protection against the bees closely resemble, in the photograph, the psycho-plastic material in which spirit-faces are framed in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's own slides.
