Hello Michelle, this is a lovely early 19th century earthenware teapot. We have a number of beekeeping patterns in our Database of Patterns and Sources, but apparently not this one. Note that the bee keeper (?) to the left of the hives appears to be holding a smoker, to calm the bees. The pattern on the other side is lovely as well. We have an expert in our ranks on this subject (bee keeping on transferware), and I have asked her to respond, but she is conducting research and will then be vacationing, all away from her reference library. She promises to respond in mid to later March. Maybe in the meantime someone else will respond.
