Abstract: From the research we analyzed how beekeeping was carried out in the eighteenth century in Portugal. The source studied was the work “Tratado Historico e Fysico das Abelhas (1800)” by Father Francisco de Faria e Aragão (1726-1806), since in that period there was a strong influence of the Enlightenment current and natural philosophy. The production was published in the Arco do Cego calcographic workshop, which promoted scientific publications and translations regarding agricultural activities in the field of plants and animals in an attempt to make the handling of rural products more profitable. The priest refers to efforts to improve beekeeping production through naturalistic studies of illustrated influences in the 18th century on the reproduction of bees, the products generated by these insects and their benefits
