So the suggestion here is that migratory people 8K to 12K years ago had developed to the point where they took colonies of bees with them as they migrated? Hummmmm. Is there evidence that the poeples in that region even kept bees instead of robbing bee trees? I don't know. Haven't researched that concept.
