It was about 100 million years ago that the first angiosperms appeared on Earth and the bees' job became indispensable, pollinating the first 'prehistoric flowers''. Thanks to evolution, the bees we know today came into being approximately 70 million years ago (while our history is only 1-2million years old). Time made these little creatures so perfect.

Before agriculture evolved, man could only collect food from nature. During their daily prowls they discovered the treasure of bees. Can you believe it? Experience with bees and honey goes back to ancient times. The Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese and Incas realized the curative power of honey before the time of Christ. They developed bee keeping and started producing honey on their own. The science of curing developed from experience and they tried to cure all kind of illnesses with honey, both external and internal. Ancient peoples used it as a cosmetic because it moisturizes the skin, and makes it supple without blocking out the air. Cleopatra took honey-milk baths regularly to preserve the tenderness of her skin. King Herod kept his dead wife in honey for 7 years to preserve her beauty. Honey had huge importance during these times. Ancient peoples were even treating external injuries with honey because its antibacterial quality prevents infections. Mixed with herbs, honey is excellent for stomach problems too. Greek sportsmen knew, thousands of years ago, that honey quickly restores energy. According to Emokritos, the body needs to be treated with oil and fed with honey to keep it healthy for a long time. He proved his theory. He died at the age of 109. 

3700 years ago, the first Chinese medical book was written explaining that the secret to a long healthy life is regularly eating ginseng roots with honey. As we see, honey has enjoyed great respect since ancient times. Unfortunately modern science barely, if ever takes advantage of it.
Just like many other natural materials, honey has had to cede its place to mass-produced goods. Is that right? Or else we can rediscover the real value of our natural sources, the indispensability of these treasures. Treasure like Honey.
