Adapting the social practice of beekeeping to a changing climate.
Synthesis in Ambio, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Beekeeping offers a lens to study climate change, linking ecological dynamics with cultural practices, technologies, and livelihoods. While ecological impacts on bees and pollination are well studied, less is known about how beekeeping as a social practice adapts. This systematic review synthesizes 27 peer-reviewed studies across regions and disciplines, guided by social practice theory. We examine five interrelated dimensions-competences, materials, meanings, temporalities, and more-than-human relations-shaping beekeeping under climatic stress. Findings show adaptation is not limited to technical fixes. It includes changes in knowledge, hive design, timing, and shifts in cultural meanings and relations with bees and landscapes. Strategies range from hive modifications and transhumance to community learning and new framings of risk. However, adaptive capacity is uneven. Conceptualizing beekeeping as a climate-sensitive practice advances inter- and transdisciplinary dialogue and fosters more inclusive and effective adaptation strategies. This approach to reviewing practical climate micro-adaptation is replicable in other fields of practice.
