A piece of amber containing an insect bearing features of modern bees and wasps has been found, and scientists have dated it to be 100 million years old. But fossils of bees pretty well "indistinguishable" from modern bees have been found dating back to over 35 million years ago.
In a cave near Valencia, Spain there is a wall painting, which is around 15,000 years old, showing men collecting honey from wild bees. Beekeeping is believed to be the second oldest occupation. Second to prostitution.... huh?! lol
