Bees and beekeeping share an ancient history deeply tied to human survival and culture. Bees have existed for millions of years, with fossil evidence showing their presence alongside flowering plants, playing a crucial role in pollination. Early humans valued wild honey as a rare and vital food source, as shown in cave paintings from Spain dating back over 8,000 years. The practice of beekeeping, or apiculture, began with ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, who kept bees in clay hives and recorded honey’s use for food, medicine, and ritual offerings. The Greeks and Romans refined techniques, studying bee behavior and improving hive designs, while in the Middle Ages, beekeeping spread across Europe, with monasteries preserving methods and using beeswax for candles. Modern beekeeping took shape in the 19th century with the invention of the movable-frame hive by Lorenzo Langstroth, revolutionizing hive management and honey harvesting. Today, beekeeping continues as both an agricultural necessity and a cultural tradition, with bees remaining essential to ecosystems and human food production.
