Hello,
I'm doing an article series
related to 'the rediscovery of
beekeeping knowledge of old'
I am seeking reference source which
would reveal the earliest date
it was scientifically proven or
first known that a colony of bees
-well fortified with honey, would begin
to abandon foraging great distances,
in favor of foraging closer to home.
Here, I may compare this with
evidence showing that bee
hunters, -a hundred years ago
were aware of this fact, and
adjusted their bee hunting
strategies accordingly.
=====
Another rediscovery I am looking
at is the case of the discovery
in 2002 which has shown bees
could be used to protect crops
from raiding elephants. I may
compare this to a rock painting
from Neolithic period in 9.000 BC,
-during the dawn of agriculture,
which may depict villagers using
bees to ward off raiding elephants.
Best Wishes,
Joe Waggle
