Through multispecies ethnographic vignettes, beekeeper-honey bee relationships reveal the ways in which social systems inform interspecies entanglements. The research is grounded in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, and highlights the experiences of eleven beekeepers. Stories highlight how bodies interact within larger landscapes that are dictated by the dominant food system model. The bee hive becomes a meeting place for bodies to interact with, contradict, and reflect, conditions set by global currents.en-USAll Rights Reserved.EthnographyFood StudiesFood SystemsGlobal StudiesMultispecies StudiesPollinatorsElectronic Thesis or Dissertation
