Item is a silent, colour film featuring the processing of honey from its transport by truck to the Bee Cee Honey plant through to canning and labelling by factory workers on assembly lines. School children and girl guides are shown entering the plant for tours. The Bee Cee Honey plant building includes a "Hodgson's Bee Supplies Ltd." sign suggesting it may have been filmed in New Westminster, BC, where Hodgson's was based at the time. One of the transport trucks shown in the film bears the slogan, "Another Load of Silverbow Honey." Silverbow is a Washington state-based honey company.

The Apiculture (beekeeping) collection is an artificial grouping of documentary materials relating to the methods, science and culture of beekeeping.

The collection consists of publications, conference proceedings, minutes, correspondence, photographs, and moving images. Material includes government publications, correspondence and registers of provincial beekeepers in British Columbia; published research articles, presentations and reports; course outlines and course material relating to the Bee Masters program and honey judging in British Columbia; photographs of various BC beekeeping activities and personalities; copies of meeting minutes and other records of various beekeeping associations in British Columbia and Canada; moving images featuring beekeeping activities and topics; and various subject files relating to the history of beekeeping in BC.
