Hi
I got a copy of Eva Crane's recent book: The Rock Art of Honey Hunters, 2001.

In it she has a table of Rock Art  by Continent. (I hope the table
looks OK in email format)


                Africa  Asia    Europe  America Oceania

Bee related:

# of countries  12      3       1       0       1
# of sites      111     19      6       0       5


General rock art:

# of countries  23      14      7       14      9
major areas     31      38      29      34      12



You can see that the Americas have just as much rock art as other
continents but no one has ever found depictions of honey bees or
humans engaged in honey hunting. I mentioned in an earlier post that
there were 911 rock art sited identified in the US alone by 1979.
