Any time I see someone talking about bees in a positive way, I am reminded of the work Layne Redmond has done researching ancient frame-drummers. I can't do much searching here at work (almost every link in DU is partially blocked) so you'll have to look her up yourself. I'll amend this post this evening with proper links.

Suffice it to say, she's discovered that the ancient Greek drummers were no only women, but keepers of bees!

eta - Here's a blog of Layne's about the ancient beekeepers: Sacred Path of the Bee
