THE STORY OF THE BLACK BEE
Originally, one species of bee was able to live throughout Western Europe: the mellifera mellifera (the Black Bee) could adapt anywhere. For a long time, its production in France met the country’s honey needs. Beekeepers, in a quest for productivity, crossbred it with Italian and Slovenian bees. Gradually, a single standardised bee became dominant in global beekeeping: a variety that is indeed more productive, but requires much more unnatural care.
