THE BASICS OF BEEKEEPING
Beekeeping, The Beekeeper and Our Bees
Methods of Beekeeping – Honey bees in more or less their present form have existed on earth for far longer than human beings.
From the very earliest human records there is evidence that men have sought their honey. There are several primitive stone-age cave paintings apparently showing men robbing bees’ nests.
Some people say they can even see in some of the pictures that the man is carrying a smoking torch — evidence that even at this early date smoke was being used to pacify the bees.
In prehistoric times the discovery must also have been made that if the hollow log containing a bees’ nest was moved to a convenient place near home, the bees would continue to live in it, and also that if a swarm of bees was introduced to a hollow log, earthenware pot or straw skep in the evening, there was a good chance that they would set up home there.
All early civilizations in Europe and Asia show familiarity with beeswax and honey. There are many references in the Old Testament. Ancient Egyptian tombs that have been investigated by archaeologists have contained offerings to the dead of both beeswax and honey, remarkably well-preserved, especially the
wax.
