Thank you so much!!! This video was very interesting. I am fascinated by bees and ancient Egypt and studied hieroglyphics at UCLA. I will look for your book. Beekeeping in Lithuania is fascinating too. There is an amazing beekeeping museum there with carved beehives of ancient gods.
This one is simple to answer. Each hive would only have one queen bee. Since all hives consisted of separate clay pipes stacked up to form a wall, then each of these would be classed as a separate hive from the next one so there would be hundreds of hives per wall and a hundreds of queen's for each hive. Note that during harvesting honey is stored at farthest end to entrance of bees into hive so the collectors would open the hive at the opposite end so brood combs and others don't get disturbed and they probably only took a little from each hive as they had so many. Hope this answers your question.
I’m an Rh- with Egyptians in my family tree apparently. I know my kin have or had issues with minor cuts turning fatal and I myself keep ground yarrow and neosporin in my pocket often. I see where honey would be important for this for my past kin. Also I imagine an emergency seal for a wound could be hot wax over it and it cools to seal while maybe searing tune ends at same time? Just riffing here but yeah I feel like I know bees intimately and this is my first video to learn about them so nice work!!
I love this man! First time watching him as I came to “bees” in my ancient genealogy studies and yeah.. I wish I could just pick up a phone and call a guy like that to clear up questions lol oh a boy can dream
