Humans and Honeybees is a project in the history of knowledge, situated between historical anthropology and animal history. Drawing on texts, images, and material culture from around 1800, it explores how human encounters with honeybees shaped both ecosystems and societies. By tracing their entangled histories, the project examines the more-than-human dimensions of (early) modern knowledge production, focusing on a small insect and its complex relations with the human world.
