As far as Cretan beekeeping is concerned, Crete was born with honey! The first bees are found from the Minoan era, about 4,000 years ago. During the excavations at Phaistos, clay hives were discovered from the time of the palaces dating to around 3,400 BC. Chronologically, it is long before the Homeric Age, that is, the Neolithic! At the same time, the famous gold jewel of Knossos, where two bees are holding a honeycomb, came to light again after thousands of years.
From Glafkos, the son of Minos and Crete, who drowned in a jar full of honey, chasing a mouse and resurrected by the seer Polydos with the help of a magic herb, many things have happened to this day. Many years have passed, many food products have entered our lives. And without a doubt, many traditional, eating habits of the years are shaken. But one thing is for sure: the gift of the intelligent bee will always be considered the nectar not only of the gods but also of humans!
