Abstract

ABSTRACTBy focusing on my relationship with honeybees within the context of the current global honeybee crises, this paper will present a first-person account of my practice and research over the past five years – a kind of textual ‘waggle dance’1 that describes an experiential understanding of where I have been on my journey, and perhaps even the quality of what I have discovered along the way. Here I will present the wide array of materials and methods I have engaged, ranging from social practice and activism to laboratory-based explorations, in my attempts to both performatively and biophysically become a humyn-honeybee2 (Homo Apis). Such a form of self-analysis is offered both as reflexive critique and as a means to exhibit some of the tendencies and pitfalls that come with performing non-humyn subjectivity.
