[[Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Conan]] and [[Jean Elizabeth Leckie|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 [[Arthur Conan Doyle|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.
