Medieval bee keepers

 Worked on some medieval bee keepers today-


28 mm figures by Midlam Miniatures. For some background reading-

And by Bruegel-

  1. I looked at these figures a while ago and was very tempted, cracking little figures.

  2. Yes I can see the attraction too, although medieval is a bit early to fit in with anything I currently have in my numerous collections!

  3. Very nice (and rather sinister) looking figures

  4. Lovely figures; I have one of the beekeeper figures and some suitable hives. (see https://tidders-kingdomofwittenberg.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-couple-more-civilians-figures.html)

  5. Very interesting figures. As Maudlin Jack noted, they are rather sinister. I could see them filling in as cultists in medieval and more modern settings.
