I found a great set of photos on
flickr taken by Max
Westby (
Max xx). I don't think he is doing backwards beekeeping but there are lots of great shots of wild swarms and hives.

One highlight for me is a group of pictures of these
eccentric hives maintained by an 82 year old man.

This is a wild hive that formed in only 3 weeks between the bathroom window and shutters of a vacation home in Lyon.
See Max xx's whole set on flickr.
