SUMMARY OF CONTENTS:

The Kranjič beehives of Slovenia are comprised of removeable boxes, like a chest of drawers, within which individual hives are created. Each box has a front panel upon which, from the mid-18th Century, it became fashionable to paint motifs in a 'folk baroque' style. Subjects range from religious and historic to humorous and surreal.
