A Brief History of Honey

Honey has been part of human history for at least 7500 years. Ancient cave paintings in Spain show early humans collecting honey from wild hives, while the Egyptians valued it in both medicine and ritual. They used honey to treat wounds, preserve bodies, and offer to their gods.

In Greece, honey was tied to mythology and health. Hippocrates, the “father of medicine,” prescribed it for wound healing and general vitality. Roman soldiers carried honey into battle, using it as both food and a natural antiseptic for injuries.

In Asia, traditional Chinese medicine blended honey with herbs to balance energy and soothe ailments. Ayurvedic practitioners in India praised it as a carrier for plant-based medicines and as a tonic to strengthen the body. Indigenous peoples of the Americas also harvested wild honey, using it as both nourishment and a sacred element in ceremonies.

Across cultures, honey has been cherished for its sweetness, long shelf life, and healing potential. It has also carried spiritual and symbolic meaning. From tombs in Egypt to healing practices in Asia and the Americas, honey’s importance has endured through time.

Why Pollinators Matter

Bees are nature’s tireless workers, responsible for pollinating much of the food we eat and helping countless plants survive. Their activity influences the growth of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and even crops that support livestock. Without pollinators, both our diets and our environment would change in ways that are hard to imagine.

Healthy, diverse plant life is essential to sustain bee populations, and in turn, bees make sure those plants continue to reproduce and thrive. Supporting pollinators can be as simple as planting native flowers, choosing pesticide-free options for gardens, or purchasing local honey. Each action helps preserve the delicate balance of our ecosystems and ensures bees remain a vital part of our future.

Can Bees Make Cannabis-Infused Honey?

Fun fact: bees have been known to visit cannabis plants when nectar-producing plants are finished for the season. When this happens, small amounts of cannabis pollen can end up in their honey. That pollen does not contain enough cannabinoids to cause any effect, so it will not get anyone high.

However, back in the late 2010s, a French beekeeper gained attention when he claimed he had trained his bees to collect cannabis resin that passed through them into honey. While the story caught headlines, it was never backed up with real evidence.

What we do know is that bees do not have an endocannabinoid system, which means they cannot process cannabinoids the way humans or animals can. Because of this, some researchers and hobbyists have speculated that bees could be trained to take in sugar water infused with cannabinoids, allowing trace amounts to pass into the honey they create. In fact, a company even patented this process. While successful, the transfer is minimal, not nearly enough to get a person high, but it remains an interesting example of how bees and cannabis can connect in unexpected ways.

For now, the cannabis-infused honeys you see on the shelf are created using commercial-grade infusion equipment. Keep reading if you want to learn how you can simply infuse your own honey at home.
