Honey Bees are important because they pollinate certain fruits, nuts, and flowers and with out honey bees there would be no more pure honey and we would lose billions of dollars that honey makes.
The main scare in the world currently is the fact that honey bees have begone to disappear and no one knows where they are going to. This could set a problem world wide if the disappearance of honey bees continue and honeybee keepers are losing money and don't know how to solve this problem.
For my project on honey bees I chose to a more historic back round and look at ancient egypt and how the egyptians were called the first bee keepers so I wanted to delve deeper into that and see more historic understanding on how they used to bee keep and how they got honey.
I learned that instead of putting bee hives in boxes like we do now, they used to stack cylinders and used to stack them on top of each other, as well as there were special people called bee hunters who went out into the desert and searched for honey and bee hives to bring and they were specially escorted by royal archers. I learned other things about where they think bees come from and why there here as well as rituals they used to do with honey bees and the mummifying of Pharos.
For exhibition I made a jar that they used to put the Pharos insides into and fill it with honey and honey bees so that they could guide the dead Pharos back to the sun god Ra. I covered the urn in hieroglyphs and painted it and put honey bee wax melted on the top of the urn.
I am happy and proud of what I did for exhibition and it was a well made experience and I wouldnt have changed in anyway.
