Modern urban life has removed us to a great extent from natural cycles and, therefore, a feeling for changes as they occur through time. The study of history is sometimes seen by modern students, and many lay people, as irrelevant and useless. Geography is also sometimes seen in an archaic light. There seems to be less interest in where things are located, and why they are there, than there once was. Now we just want a gps systems to tell us how to get there.
But the distribution of events through time and space can sometimes shed light on current events that are explanatory, and sometimes even prescriptive. This blog will be the first in a series of blogs in which I will explore how bee keeping has changed through time, and how bee distribution in space has had an effect on all people whether they know it or not.
Space and time are the constant parameters of the human drama. Much of physics is devoted to these subjects. Chemistry is about invisible events that occur in short time spans and within a miniscule topography. Biology has adopted (I believe wrongly) how living things change through time as a central tenet.
Over the next few weeks I will discuss how bees and bee keeping has changed over time and in relationship to space. I hope you come back and visit.
