“What is the truth at the center of the image honeybees were born with?”
The Anthropocene and the accelerating extinction of life on earth are a wake-up call for a fundamental shift of being on earth. It is also an opportunity for innovative initiatives in the apicultural world and for the creation of “symbiotic narratives” that not only place the very basic needs of honeybees at the center of our concern but also bring to light the bio-dynamic plasticity and life-giving gestures of honeybees as a keystone species and cultural innovator. In this context, the vision of rewilding of honeybees leads to the rehabilitation of natural and complex biotic systems and also re-calibrates our capacities of perception and cultural identity as human beings. “We can learn so much from honeybees because they completely contradict the thoughts we form about them” (Rudolf Steiner).
