Honey use and production have had a long history as an ancient activity.  Rock paintings in a cave dating back at least 8,000 years shows two honey foragers collecting honey and honeycomb from a wild bees' nest. The figures are depicted carrying baskets or gourds, and using a ladder or a series of ropes to reach the nest.
