We feed 'drugs' to our honeybees, to make them stronger.

Honeybees are among the first creatures that man domesticated, and yet, they are still basically 'wild'. The science of commercial beekeeping has been part of man's experience on planet Earth for at least two three thousand years. Indeed, on the walls of the sun temple of Nyuserre Ini from before 2400 BC, workers are depicted blowing smoke into hives as they are removing honeycombs.
