The 900 BCE date in this article maps nicely to the reign of King Solomon. Perhaps Solomon imported honey bees as well as apes and peacocks (1 Kings 10:22)?

Good find. I had to pull the bible out to see what else was said in that passage.

Thank-you, bees and history- two on the list of my favorite things!
