The history of beekeeping dates back to ancient times, with evidence of humans collecting honey from wild bees as early as 10,000 years ago, depicted in prehistoric rock art.

Over the centuries, beekeeping evolved significantly, with innovations such as the movable-frame hive developed in the mid-19th century by Lorenzo Langstroth, which revolutionized modern apiculture by allowing for more efficient honey harvesting and colony management.
