Bees: A History of Millions of Years

Bees have a long and fascinating history that dates back over 100 million years. They evolved from insect ancestors and developed incredible adaptations to survive and thrive in different environments. Bees have a complex social organization and play a crucial role in pollinating plants. Humans have been keeping bees for thousands of years to exploit their abilities to produce honey, wax, royal jelly, and other valuable products. However, in modern times, bees face many challenges due to pollution, habitat destruction, and pesticide use. Efforts are underway to protect these important pollinators and ensure their survival for generations to come.
