1KG  SO Premium Pure & Raw Honey

Honey is as old as written history, dating back to 2100 B.C. where it was mentioned in Sumerian and Babylonian cuneiform writings, the Hittite code, and the sacred writings of India and Egypt. Its name comes from the English hunig, and it was the first and most widespread sweetener used by man.

Honey was man’s first and most reliable source of sweetener. The oldest written reference to honey dates back to the Egyptians in 5500 B.C.E., and references to honey abound in antiquity. But honeybees are far older than man’s historical record, written or otherwise. Homo sapiens evolved 50,000 years ago; bees were making honey perhaps 40 million years before that. Honeybees as a group appear to have their center of origin in Southeast Asia. At about 30 million years ago they appear to have developed social behavior and structurally are virtually identical with modern honeybees. Apis mellifera, known as the Western honeybee, is the most commonly domesticated species. It probably originated in Tropical Africa and spread from there to Northern Europe and East into Asia.
