I am interested in entomology.  Are you?
That's the study of insects, so yuck! LOL!
Lol I know it is not for everyone.  It is fascinating though.  I started in school and ended up studying it in uni.  
Seems in the past it included other groups also, such as spiders, earthworms, land snails and slugs.
That is right. Not so much now though.  I did do a major study involving slugs in uni though Im sure you dont want to hear about it! lol
It seems it overlaps wiht a lot of topics though, like biochemistry, ecology, and even paleontology.
thats true.  In school I completed all science subjects then ended up doing my major in uni in entomology.  I am currently studying the behaviours of bees.  Luckily I have managed to avoid being stung so far.  My colleagues cannot say the same!
for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard".
History.
Depictions of humans collecting honey from wild bees date to 10,000 years ago. Beekeeping in pottery vessels began about 9,000 years ago in North Africa. Domestication of bees is shown in Egyptian art from around 4,500 years ago. Simple hives and smoke were used and honey was stored in jars, some of which were found in the tombs of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun. It wasn't until the 18th
Entomology
Entomology () is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was more vague, and historically the definition of entomology included the study of terrestrial animals in other arthropod groups or other phyla, such as arachnids, myriapods, earthworms, land snails, and slugs. This wider meaning may still be encountered in informal use.
Like several of the other fields that are categorized within zoology, entomology is a taxon-based category; any form of scientific study
