The bee in human history, two species whose destiny is closely linked

honeybee1The bee appeared on land, at the same time as the first plants, there are 45 million years, we believe that the bee is a native of India, even if the bee is already visible on monuments of Egypt of the Pharaohs. The men, such as bears and foxes, have begun to taste the wild honey bee. Honey said "domestic" seems to be known towards the Third Millennium Mesopotamia. What scientists are sure is that beekeeping is a technique that people of Cappadocia (Turkey today), were able to control from the middle of the second millennium. The code of Hittites, condemned because ownership swarms of bees if privately owned. Honey, was the primary source for men

sugar, the only until the Renaissance, and the first wax plastic. In the West, the beginnings of modern beekeeping, with intensive use of honey, have emerged from the second half of the nineteenth century in this regard from 1789, the naturalist Francois Huber , A Swiss, had developed a hive in the first movable frames. In principle, an American named Langstroth, was created in 1851 to increase hive, which allowed extraction of by centrifuge. This is the Langstroth hive, which is still being used for competition with the Dadant hive, which was designed and invented by a Frenchman, soon after, and it's different hive but also practical for beekeepers . Charles Dadant, was born in 1817, Vaux-sous-Aubigny, in the department of Haute-Marne, and died in 1902 in Hamilton, in Illinois, America, where he emigrated in 1863. Charles Dadant is regarded as one of the founders of modern beekeeping. It must also know that in South America, without bees sting, called Melipona, which have dozens of species, were used by the people précolombiens. There was "a civilization of honey," gayaki the Indians in Paraguay, among the people, honey was the staple food and wax took place clay. The honey bee is the only insect whose Man can consume its production of honey, propolis, pollen, royal jelly. The survival of the bee is closely linked to that of men is a balance of biodiversity and ecological balance, the physicist Albert Einsten said, "If bees were to disappear, humanity has more than a few years to live, "this should be meditated upon by men! Indeed, the bee is a vital link in the chain that helps maintain the ecosystem on earth. The bee plays a vital role in all phases of life, animal and plant life. If bees were to disappear, many plants also disappear without plants, animals, including humans feeds, in turn disappear and consequently the man would not survive. The most serious risk of disappearing bees, is undoubtedly the use of pesticides to treat seeds and crops. In this regard, two substances, kill bees, and the imidacloporide Fipronil, are suspected of being behind the death and disorientation of bees. These products are "forbidden to use" in France. A hive is composed of a swarm, which itself consists of three castes, the queen, workers and drones. The workers perform various tasks, there are Storekeeper, the loot, the custodians. We need you see, protect bees, whose destiny is closely linked to that of the human species.
