Message definition (Honey)

In [[ancient Greece]], honey was produced from the [[Archaic Greece|Archaic]] to the [[Hellenistic period]]s. In 594 BCE, beekeeping around [[Athens]] was so widespread that [[Solon]] passed a law about it: "He who sets up hives of bees must put them {{convert|300|ft|m|abbr=off|disp=sqbr|sigfig=1}} away from those already installed by another". Greek archaeological excavations of pottery located ancient hives. According to [[Columella]], Greek beekeepers of the Hellenistic period did not hesitate to move their hives over rather long distances to maximize production, taking advantage of the different vegetative cycles in different regions. The spiritual and supposed therapeutic use of honey in [[ancient India]] was documented in both the [[Vedas]] and the [[Ayurveda]] texts.
