History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424490-34 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the Honey (Wholesale) industry dates back to ancient times, where honey was used as a sweetener, medicine, and even currency. The ancient Egyptians used honey to embalm their dead, while the Greeks and Romans used it for medicinal purposes. In the Middle Ages, honey was used as a sweetener for food and drinks, and it was also used to make mead, a popular alcoholic beverage. In the United States, the honey industry began in the 17th century when European settlers brought honeybees to the country. Today, the Honey (Wholesale) industry is a thriving business, with honey being used in a variety of products, including food, cosmetics, and medicine. Recent history of the Honey (Wholesale) industry in the United States has been marked by a growing demand for natural and organic products. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the quality and safety of the food they eat, and honey is seen as a healthier alternative to artificial sweeteners. The industry has also been affected by the decline in bee populations, which has led to a shortage of honey and higher prices. To address this issue, many Honey (Wholesale) companies are investing in research and development to find new ways to increase bee populations and improve honey production.
