Fellows in the Conservation track explored how beekeeping practices reflect different human-animal relationships in a hands-on session led by Xander Lenc, PhD candidate in Geography at UC Berkeley. Through an interactive demonstration of common beehive designs, students examined how design choices shape bee behavior to meet human needs. The session introduced the concept of animal-centered design, encouraging fellows to think beyond basic survival and consider what pollinators need to truly thrive, such as safe nesting spaces, diverse forage, and protection from pesticides.
