The relationship between bees and humans dates to the hunter-gatherer days when, armed with nothing but a long stick and a lot of resolve, men would knock down hives from trees and run, returning to the scene to harvest the honey when it was deemed safe. Later, humans discovered that using smoke from a burning stick helped to subdue the bees, making the job a bit easier. The usefulness of wax could very well have been discovered then. Although some of this is conjecture on my part, there are cave paintings in Valencia Spain dating back about 8,000 years that show two people collecting honey and honeycomb from a wild bee hive. They used baskets and gourds to transport the honeycomb, and a series of ropes to reach the hive. β € -β € -β € -β € -β € -β € -β € -β € -β € - β € -β € #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect

A hive can make twenty to sixty pounds of honey in a year; to survive the winter, a hive will need around sixty pounds of honey. A worker bee who does an average amount of foraging will make just one teaspoon of honey in her whole life. A thriving hive can have anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 bees, each of them contributing its own tiny portion to the survival of the whole community.β € -β € -β € -β € -β € -β € -β € -β € -β € - β € -β € #photooftheday #themoreyouknow #beesinthed #downtowndetroit #savethebees #urbanbeekeeping #worldbeeday #education #conservation #detroit #bees #bee #beehives #honeybee #honeycomb #🐝 #detroitmichigan #hellyeahdetroit #detroitusa #rawdetroit #motorcityshooters #detroitrespect
