Since ancient times, human beings have known that honey is a priceless treasure because of its sweet and wonderful taste. Natural honey is small, also known as a gift. About 7 BC, artificial breeding of bees began, because people's demand for honey was increasing. Ancient Greece, India, Egypt and China were the earliest countries of beekeeping in the world. In developed religious countries, honey is a sacred product, which is used as a thanksgiving sacrifice, and its function is equivalent to the ointment mentioned in the Bible. Ancient Greeks and Indians also used honey for beauty and beauty.

In ancient times, honey was scarce, and few people ate. Only dignitaries and nobles could enjoy it. In the 19th century, sugar extracted from beets and sugarcane entered the homes of ordinary people, while honey was still noble, which was a gorgeous ornament of sweets after meals, such as the crown pearl. The honey story has been passed down from mouth to mouth. The paradise in the Bible is "a beautiful and spacious land flowing with milk and honey" (Exodus, 3:8). In the Middle Ages, honey was regarded as a symbol of happiness and peace, and later people also brewed mead, which added a lot of fun to life. Napoleon once wrapped his wounds with honey, and personally proved his miraculous anti-inflammatory and detoxicating effects.

people have been with honey for thousands of years. In the Middle Stone Age 15, years ago, there was a saying that human beings collected honey. In Valencia, Spain, the coastal rock walls are steep. Not long ago, archaeologists found the oldest cave paintings in Europe 4, years ago in cliff caves. Some of them depicted the scene of the caveman picking honey: the caveman descended from the baizhang cliff, took the beehive at the cave and placed it in the carry-on basket, with bees hovering around the honey picker. The 5-year-old papyrus book in ancient Egypt first recorded the matter of Egyptian bee breeding. In fact, the history of beekeeping in the upper reaches of the Nile can be traced back to earlier times, when people transported bees to the upper reaches, and then ships carrying hives drifted down with the waves, bees danced along the Nile, collected honey along the banks of the Nile, and then flew back to the ships carrying hives. The apiculture in ancient Egypt was highly respected. From 32 BC until later, the crown emblem of Egyptian pharaohs was engraved with bee patterns. Many ancient murals in Egypt depict people's activities of collecting honey and keeping bees. Ancient Egyptian papyrus books also recorded the healing and healing of honey.

The ancient Greeks began beekeeping in the 7th-8th century BC. The clapboard hive is their initiative, and they are also experts in carefully selecting bees. Because of the developed beekeeping industry, Athens enacted beekeeping legislation, stipulating that the distance between beehives should not exceed 275 meters. Xenophon (ξνο φ? ν, 427-355 BC) was a disciple of Socrates, whose work "Expedition of Ten Thousand People" was the first academic work on beekeeping in ancient Greece. Xenophon described the medical functions of beehives and honey as early as 24, years ago. Aristotle (384- 322 BC), an ancient Greek philosopher, scientist and educator, also kept bees himself. Beekeeping was a lucrative occupation in ancient Rome, when experts and scholars left a large number of monographs. Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 BC), a politician and famous scholar in ancient Rome, once wrote a monograph on the making of beehives and the curative effect of honey. What's more, bees that were not in the hive had the same status as protected wild animals in ancient Rome.
