WeKeep Workshops
This is how we keep them: Intro to Resilient Beekeeping Systems
Hone your Systems Thinking
Use systems thinking skills to identify the practices that work best for your bees.
Map your Local System
Use our Beekeeping Systems diagnostic tools to map the system that you’re in.
Build your Resilience Library
Identify strategies to build resilience in your area.
Join the WeHive
Connect with other WeKeepers working to making change.
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. That, on its own is a win. Then, as more beekeepers band together to make change, new Sweet Spots emerge. As these resilient hubs proliferate, industrial systems break into segments, eventually giving way to multiple, smaller systems. Regional, resilient beekeeping systems.
