Workshop Modalities

  • Sign up as an individual and join a cohort of resilience-building beekeepers from different geographical areas

  • Coordinate with other beekeepers in your area to sign up as a group, and develop an action plan to seed a Sweet Spot in your area.

Seeding Sweet Spots

How do we build resilient beekeeping systems? In addition to working at the individual level to implement resilience-building practices, we can also work together to push for bigger change. We can establish Sweet Spots, regional resilience hubs where beekeepers coordinate at the local level to limit disease transmission, decrease inputs dependence, and foster local adaptations so that resilience can take root.

Sweet Spots start by improving conditions for bees at the local level. As more beekeepers band together to make change, new Sweet Spots emerge. When these resilient hubs proliferate, industrial systems break into segments, eventually giving way to multiple, smaller systems. Regional, resilient beekeeping systems.
