In the 19th and 20th century, artificial honey and new forms of beehives were created to make production more suitable for mass markets. While artificial hives have been known since the 3rd millennium BCE, modern frame hives found in beehives kept by modern beekeepers were invented in 1814. The idea was to make it easier to separate bees from the hives to more easily collect honey. Previously, smoke was used to drive bees away and then break artificial or natural hives, where the honey was then collected.
