Bees were domesticated around 4,500 to 5,000 years ago, with evidence suggesting that ancient civilizations, particularly in Egypt and Mesopotamia, began keeping honeybees for their honey and wax. This practice likely evolved from the harvesting of honey from wild bee colonies. Over time, beekeeping techniques improved, leading to more efficient honey production and the spread of domesticated bees across various cultures.
