Currently, apiculture is a niche topic in agricultural and food ethics. Yet, ethical issues arise for both beekeeping as a practice and for food production, which relies heavily on pollination services. Weather and climate impact apiculture directly by affecting honeybees and indirectly through their environment, vegetation, and pests. Against this backdrop, how can beekeepers’ knowledge be mobilised to transform their seasonal knowledge and practices in the face of risks related to weather and climate? This is the main research question of the BeeWare project, a one-year pilot research collaboration (2022) of scholars coming from the University of Bergen and the Norwegian Research Centre (NORCE). It studies, first, how beekeepers in the Norwegian Vestland region organise their activities over the year according to frameworks of ‘normal’ seasons, and how these are impacted by weather and climate. Second, it investigates how knowledge of current and future climate can mitigate risk important for beekeeping seasonal frameworks. And third, it co-produces informed practices together with beekeepers to support them in anticipating and adapting to weather and climate related risks. BeeWare aims to initiate reflection on good beekeeping practices in times of climate change, and co-produce socially robust knowledge for food security.
