Where the Bees go: Speculative experience of a honeybee’s journey that explores restructuring and reconsidering of more-than-human relationships

Abstract [en]

This master’s thesis investigates the prospect of materialising the invisible labour of domesticated honeybees located around Sweden. Having speculative design and more-than-human design theory as the frameworks, the study explores how physicalising real-time data on pollination, storytelling, and scenario building can reframe and reinforce human–bee relationships. The project proposes a speculative design activity where the participants navigate a series of scenarios that represent probable ecological futures involving the journeys of bees throughout time. This study establishes that speculative, more-than-human design can function as a catalyst for dialogue and imagination, inspiring new modes of coexistence, collective care, and responsibility toward honeybees and their environments.
