Specifications
The practice of beekeeping in Kea dates back to ancient times, as the pre-Olympian god of vegetation, Aristaeus, is said to have taught beekeeping to the people on this island.
Beekeeping has always been important for human life. The two main beekeeping products, honey and wax, have had significant uses in daily life for millennia. And although times have changed, they remain important even today.
How has beekeeping evolved over the centuries? What are the types of hives, what techniques and tools did beekeepers use to harvest them? These are just some of the questions that this book answers.
An in-depth study for beekeepers who want to learn about the past and evolution of their craft, while also understanding the cultural technology, archaeology, and ethnography of beekeeping. A publication for the residents of Tzia and visitors to Kea who wish to explore the history of an activity that has been particularly significant for the island, which brought it to prominence in ancient times and continues to do so to this day.
