Abstract

After all, the relationship between bees and humans is more ancient and deeper than you might think. Is it possible that the development of human civilisation is partly due to bees? What is certain is that the bee, like the dog, was linked to man very early in history, and their cooperation was sometimes wonderful, sometimes disastrous, at least as far as bees were concerned. When man saw bees as partners, our relationship was always prosperous; when man robbed and destroyed them, it was disastrous. This must be a very important lesson for the 21st century. If the bees and the knowledge and care of them die out, then the whole of humanity is doomed, because these bees are responsible for at least two thirds of the pollination of flowers, so if there are no bees, there is no pollination, no harvest. Without bees, humanity will starve first and then die out.
