- Honeybee populations face threats from pesticides, diseases, and other stressors, highlighting their vital role in agriculture and the historical relationship between humans and bees dating back to ancient Egypt and even the Stone Age.
- Evidence suggests that humans have been harvesting bee products, particularly beeswax, since prehistoric times, and its chemical composition allows for recognizing these products in archaeological contexts.
- Research indicates that Neolithic farmers across Europe, the Near East, and North Africa continuously exploited bee products from at least the seventh millennium cal BC, suggesting an essential cultural and technological role for honeybees in early agricultural societies.
