Beekeeping - Ancient History
This article is wonderful. Thank you! I shall do my best to get this news out to the members of the Biblical Botanical Gardens Society (BBGS). We are a crazy bunch of gardeners who grow the plants common in the Levant 2,000 years ago. Beekeeping is important to us. Humans have been doing it since the early bronze age (Egyptian paintings), and they did it in their settlement (villages and towns). The oldest beekeeping site was found in Israel in 2008 at Tel Rehov. It dates back 3,000 years. It is time to bring this ancient partnership back within city limits!
