The Secret Lives of Bees I Part 3 – BIRTH OF A BEE & HARVESTING HONEY

In this video, Part 3 in our series The Secret Life of Bees, we will witness a baby honey bee being born, and our good friends Aaron and David are back to walk us through the process of harvesting honey.
Firstly, opinions vary about how long honey bees have been around on the planet: some sources state about 40 million years, others claim there are fossilized remains of honey bees dating back 150 million years.

What we can agree on is that harvesting Honey is as old as history is itself. The earliest evidence of honey harvesting is on a rock painting dating back 8000 years. It depicts a human robbing the wild honey from a tree using smoke to subdue the bees.
Honey has been found in ancient Egyptian tombs dating back 5000 years, the honey was still good to eat.
