The ancient Egyptians were known for their advanced agricultural practices, and their kitchens often featured a built-in indoor honeybee and pollinator garden. These kitchens had beehives and observation windows, allowing the residents to watch the bees at work while preparing meals. The honey produced by these bees was used as a sweetener in various dishes and beverages. Additionally, the pollinator garden provided a variety of fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables, ensuring a constant supply of fresh ingredients for cooking.
