3,000-year-old beehives unearthed in Israel
« on: September 06, 2007, 07:08:19 AM »
"The Bible repeatedly refers to Israel as a "land of milk and honey," but that's believed to refer to honey made from dates and figs -- there is no mention of honeybee cultivation. But the new find shows that the Holy Land was home to a highly developed beekeeping industry nearly 3,000 years ago."
