Beekeeping in the Mediterranean -
from antiquity to the present
More than 250 individuals simultaneously watched the first International Beekeeping Symposium on Cyclades by eight Cycladic islands the excellent presentations by 30 renowned experts from Greece and abroad. “Beekeeping in the Mediterranean from antiquity to the present” was completed by a collaboration between the Cyclades Chamber, the Eva Crane Trust and the Greek Agricultural Organization “DEMETER”.
Important findings, historical and archaeological, presented by Israel, Turkey, Egypt, the Cyclades and the Mediterranean in general, covering 4.000 years of beekeeping practice through the centuries and new findings in relation to the local bee races. Topical issues, concerns and practices were also presented in an attempt at broad coverage of all major issues facing modern beekeepers.
As a result of this successful collaboration a book has been produced and the 15 chapters are freely available to read and download below. We feel that this a tribute to the great EVA CRANE, who has inspired the symposium and the book!
We wish to thank the EVA CRANE TRUST and especially Mr. Richard Jones for his generous contribution to the organization of the Symposium and the editing of this book. We also wish to thank all authors for their valuable input, as well as the various other funding bodies which have made this publication possible.
