How did that come about eh?

Years ago, some dude looks at a few bees, and thinks...

"Cool ! I'll KEEP some of those'

???

more like mmm honey, maybe we can keep bees and farm the honey instead of hunting for it in the wild

There were beehives at my secondary school belonging to one of the physics teachers.

We did have a lesson about why they were kept and i'm sure it was to do with honey being the only thing people knew to use as a sweetener. Sugar as a refined cooking ingredient is a lot more recent thing.

I bought some lime marmalade at an agricultural show a couple of years ago that had been made using honey instead of sugar. Was really nice

we have sting less bees here. There is a wall here on my property that has a Hive. Need to figure out how to get the honey without disturbing them toooo much.

i used to run some pollen traps back in the day. the honey i kept. I would love to get back into it. I also did bee calls (bee removal). the bee mites took a huge hit on beekeeper Apiaries

Honey is awesome stuff. It's antibacterial, so you can spread it on a wound to keep it clean. Also great as a source of sugar, energy, etc. Also - no crops without bees

If you are sending a group of guys up a tree in the forest once a month to go raid a wild bees nest for honey, wouldn't it make sense to keep those bees in a box that you could access easily?

Also very good for removing the sting from a burn.

Its really sweet that you and a few guys are calling me 'Honey'... & I'm genuinely touched by it..

However, (All love for me aside) if I saw a few sharks in the sea, and I thought - These things could bite and hurt me - I wouldn't be thinking 'Hmmmm I'll keep a few of them'... ?

You would make a shitty bond villain.

My uncle was a beekeeper, and he had a way of handling them without getting stung. I've seen him pick up a hive and have bees crawing on his hand. They would sting other people who tried it, however.

And great for you if you suffer from seasonal allergies.
