Bee Hive
Bee Hives A Proper Home For Domestic Bee
When talking about bee hives and raw honey people frequently think about having to scale a tree to get them. This is often not true as many professional bee keepers have popped up around the world and have their hives at ground level. This makes extracting honey from the hive easier, and safer. There's however still the danger of getting stung, but at least you do not have to fret about breaking your neck.
Bee hives have been the first source of raw honey since the dawn of recorded history. Archeologists have found cave paintings of folks climbing trees to get honey out of suspended hives in varied locations. History doesn't tell us when we started training bees but we do know that we were actively practicing it around 2400 BC. Historic evidence shows that early bee keepers used logs, pottery, and even baskets for bee's to build their colonies in and raise young.
Early beekeepers had to use crude techniques of getting honey from bee colonies that they tended. In most situations, they suppressed the bees with smoke then smashed into the hive and ripped out the honeycombs. These were then mashed up and the honey was mixed with the larval eggs, the material of the honeycomb itself, and then crudely strained. This worked in getting the honey but devastated the hive completely.
fortunately , bee hives have developed considerably since those times and extracting the raw honey does not harm the colony. Modern bee farmers use slide out hives that have a comb like structure that can easily be emptied, and then replaced. This guarantees the bee colony will be safe, and can produce more honey later. Honey that's's harvested is then run thru a complex system of filters to make sure it's clean, and safe for consumption.
till the 18th century, we didn't really know much about bees. What we probably did know revolved around legend, folklore, and old other halves tales. Scientists at the time had had enough of this and began actively dissecting and researching bee hives, bees, and the raw honey they produced. This laid the foundation for what we all know about bees today.
Insect behaviour is sort of complicated, even though it appears simple. Bees communicate with body language, pheromones, and sometimes a mixture of the 2. This can lead to some engaging activity if you have got a colony with a glass window. People have been observing bees and other insects like this for years and it never fails to fascinate the curious mind.
Not only do bees produce honey, but they are essential to the ecosystem of our planet. These sometimes-tiny insects can pollinate loads of flowers in a day. These flowers then support a myriad of other insect and animal life that makes up our food chain. Even the littlest of bugs can have an insurmountable effect on our planet.
At the moment, bee hives are still the only source of raw honey we have. Sure, you can try and imitate it with artificial flavors but nothing comes near to the real thing. Honey is an essential component of breakfasts across the globe and many start their day with it. It also has many medical properties which make it particularly popular.
