<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Steve Rogenstein, co-producer of Honey Week and a beekeeper himself,
owns a hive that sits atop a storage container at Edgemere Farm in
Rockaway. To get people interested in beekeeping and honey, Rogenstein
likes to explain that every container of honey has a complex flavor that
can be appreciated like wine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“From jar-to-jar, honey has totally different taste profiles, smell
qualities, viscosity, and colors,” says Rogenstein. “It just shows that
honey, like wine, is absolutely unique from season to season, location
to location, and from hive to hive.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="description">Since
the late 1990s, beekeepers around the world have observed the
mysterious and sudden disappearance of bees, and report unusually high
rates of decline in honeybee colonies.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bees make more than
honey – they are key to food production because they pollinate crops.
Bumblebees, other wild bees, and insects like butterflies, wasps, and
flies all provide valuable pollination services. A third of the food
that we eat depends on pollinating insects: vegetables like zucchini,
fruits like apricot, nuts like almonds, spices like coriander, edible
oils like canola, and many more… In Europe alone, the growth of over
4,000 vegetables depends on the essential work of pollinators. But
currently, more and more bees are dying. The bee decline affects mankind
too. Our lives depend on theirs</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A detailed description of the bugonia process can be found in "Geoponica", a collection of agricultural lore compiled during the 10th century for the Byzantine emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus which embraces agricultural information, including the management of bees.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The expressions "bugenès melissae" and "taurigenae apes" meant "oxen-born bees" and the ancient Greeks would sometimes simply call honey bees "bugenès" or "taurigenae".
