Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
A rock drawing in Spain from about 7000 B. C. shows a man
who has climbed a hillside, found a crevice holding a hive,
and is reaching in to grab the honey. Indeed, a lucky
wanderer in just about any part of Europe, Africa, or Asia that
wasn't covered with ice could stumble on a hive and at the
risk of some stings-come away with a treat. (People in the
Americas had no bees, so used syrups made from maple
trees, agave cactus, or mashed fruits for their sweeteners.)
Then someone figured out that you didn't have to be lucky.
You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it
their home. You could "keep" bees—you didn't have to find
them.
