Of all the insects, the bee has always aroused replica watches uk curiosity and sympathy. Curiosity because bees are a rare example of an organised animal society; sympathy because it is hardworking without seeming pedantic like the ant and its work is useful to mankind; in fact it produces, honey, beeswax, propolis, royal jelly and moreover it encourages the pollination of fruit trees. The word honey seems to come from the Hittite melit. For thousands of years it represented the only concentrated sugar available. The first traces of beehives constructed by man date back to approximately the 6th millennium. In Valnerina, beekeeping is an ancient tradition and its life ran parallel with that of the monasteries and castles. One of the most famous episodes in the life of Saint Rita when she was still a child is linked to honey: one day the little girl was resting in the shade of a tree while her parents were a little further away, a swarm of bees surrounded her head without stinging her, in fact some of them flew into her little mouth and left some honey there. In the meantime a farmer had wounded his hand with a scythe and left his work to run to Cascia for medication; as he passed by the small basket, he saw what was happening and tried to chase away the bees, but at this point the second part of the miracle took place, and as he shook his arm to send them away, the wound completely healed. The man cried out that it was a miracle as did all the inhabitants of Roccaporena who heard about the miracle.
