"The Husking Bee" is a painting by the American genre artist Henry Mosler (1841–1920), which depicts a social and agricultural event common in rural America during the 19th century. Husking bees were community gatherings where neighbors would come together to strip the husks from corn. These events were not only about labor but also served as social functions, often featuring music, dancing, and courtship.

Henry Mosler, born in New York to German immigrant parents, received his artistic training in the United States and abroad, including time spent in Düsseldorf, Munich, and Paris, which were significant art centers of the period. His works often reflect the influence of his academic training and his interest in depicting everyday life and customs.

Created in the post-Civil War era, "The Husking Bee" captures the spirit of American rural life and the sense of community that was integral to the agricultural practices of the time. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, the portrayal of the figures engaged in the husking activity, and the use of light to enhance the storytelling aspect of the scene.

As a notable work in Mosler's oeuvre, "The Husking Bee" has been recognized for its artistic merit and its contribution to the genre of American scene painting. It reflects Mosler's ability to combine his academic training with his observations of American subjects, contributing to the visual record of 19th-century American culture and society.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Mosler that explores similar themes of American rural life, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of American genre painting and the cultural history of the United States. "The Husking Bee" is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also as a historical document that offers insight into the customs and communal practices of its time.
