Insects with an Uncertain Status : Bees
Bees are special in that they have a changing, easily reversible status in our society. From being wild, they are brought into the domesticated realm of culture. From being domesticated, they instantly go wild. This hard to control, "alternating" status is linked to their social behavior. It affects the nature of relations between bees and human societies. Beekeeping practices, collective representations and attitudes, and legal formulations about beehive ownership rights, all this can be interpreted in the light of the wild/domesticated opposition.
