Mead was the first. We find bee keeping in early agro societies as well. But I have heard that theory as well. The time period this book covers is during that interface between hunter gatherers and agro societies. Pretty interesting stuff.

A friend of mine is an archeologist who specializes in this time period, the interface between the late stone age and early agriculture. One thing he has noted in all the sites he's worked on is that in each and every one in the upper Euphrates and Tigris rivers he's found evidence of beer making. Steve theorizes that beer probably was the reason why we have agriculture and civilization. I'd say more but most of the time we discuss it we're already into our 5th or 6th beer.
