No one can pin a date on when humans learnt to cultivate bees for their honey. Neither can anyone say for sure when man learnt that honey can be consumed. Perhaps man observed the bears and other animals in the trees pursuing honey bee hives and taking the honey from it and eating it. And as always man - following his 'monkey see, monkey do' instinct tried it out for taste and discovered that honey had a unique sweet taste of its own.

It is not certain as to when was the first time a person decided to collect honey from hives. But what we do know is that art of beekeeping has been around for quite a long time. Some cave drawings have been discovered by archaeologist depicting the collection of honey. It is believed that the cave drawings were created in 7000BC and were found in Africa and Spain's eastern regions. These drawings show pictures of people scooping honey out off trees and rocks. The cave dwellers then somehow learned the affect of smoke in the harvesting of honey.
