Can bees be domesticated

It could be said the bees in beekeepers' hives have been domesticated, but that's not really true. Bees are very much creatures of instinct and they react to stimuli, but they don't have the brain power to reason and they almost certainly don't recognize the beekeeper as 'their owner'.
Beekeepers learn to manipulate the bees' environment to make the bees do what is wanted. This usually works, but not always -- there are many books about beekeeping, but the bees can't read so don't always do what is expected.
Even in law, bees are classified as wild animals, not farm stock or domestic. And they don't make good pets!
