| description | The major causes of bee decline have been well documented in recent decades through a series of studies on the effects of pesticides and parasites. On the other hand, the question of nectar and pollen resources essential to bees and honey production has mainly been explored from the point of view of their availability and quality. This article aims to extend this reflection by focusing on the forms of their social, legal and economic appropriation by beekeepers. Based on field surveys conducted with beekeepers, we show that access to these resources which are not produced by beekeepers, with an ill-defined legal status and no regulations governing their use and sharing, is based on an ethos. Based on a more or less shared code of good conduct, it regulates the social relations of production between beekeepers and facilitates their cohabitation, including with other players, in the same territory. Bringing this ethos to light means clarifying what is implicit, and making visible the discreet practices, unspoken ideas and knowledge and power relations that underlie the question of apiary location in particular. The increased pressure on resources in recent years due to climate change, the growing number of beehives and beekeepers, and particularly transhumance, has reinforced the phenomena of competition and rivalry. This raises the question of the robustness of this ethos and its ability to regulate the growing tensions within the beekeeping world. |
