Entangled with Bees: A Multimodal Ethnography

By Martin Gruber

What draws humans and honeybees together, and how do they interact with one another in different cultural contexts? In this ethnographic study, Martin Gruber explores the diverse and intimate entanglements between humans and honeybees across three field sites in Germany, Cameroon, and Japan. Focusing on the sensory, corporeal, and emotional dimensions of human-honeybee relations, this multimodal study brings together ethnographic writing, film, and images, allowing readers to engage with the research across different media. Written in an accessible and evocative style, it offers scholars, beekeepers, and general readers a multispecies perspective on living with bees.
