Beekeeping is one the oldest forms of food production and probably began around 5,000 years ago in Egypt.

A stone relief discovered in Egypt, from around 2500 BC, shows all the stages of honey manufacturing. While honey has been enjoyed by humans for thousands of years, prior to beekeeping it was gathered from wild bees' nests.

The oldest preserved records of humans enjoying wild honey are on Spanish rock paintings from around 6,500 BC showing wild honey being gathered from bees' nests.
