| description | This article shows how living beings take part in shaping nocturnal temporalities in the case of honeybees and beekeeping and agricultural work. At night, because of the absence of light, bees stop flying and gather inside their hive. This behavior, resulting from the experience that bees have of the night hours, is used in a set of practices: on the one hand, by beekeepers in shipping bees, an exhausting night work during which these professionals must coordinate themselves with the nocturnal temporality of their bees; on the other hand, by farmers in the use of pesticides, legally framed from a qualification of the night in the bee. Depending on the context and the different ways in which we interact with bees, the night is experienced in many different ways. Based on an ethnographic fieldwork in the Rhone Valley (Drôme, from 2019 to 2020) with beekeepers and farmers, the article observes the ways in which actors implement and negotiate, more or less conflictual, their practices with what makes night for bees. The article invites us to look at and describe agricultural practices in terms of the many multispecific nocturnal temporalities that shape them. |
