Given the current state of the coevolution where there is a stress not only on the bee population but also on the dependency of the bee. In the last few years, the bees have been introduced into urban and suburban environment where it has been proven to be a better environment for the bees: they are under less stress given that they are usually not put there to perform nor do they travel throughout the country, they have a greater diversity of nectar sources. Given that the cities are better environments, there are several issues that have to address for the cohabitation of the species. The cohabitation implies a step beyond the perception of the bee as a pest. Cohabitation means to deal with a habitat and not only a structure [fig. 8]. Looking at Washington D.C. as a case study, a network [fig.9] spreads over of the existing man-made patterns of the city. The new layer of bees juxtaposes the man-made patterns to create a symbiotic relationship of patterns and interventions. Pierre L’Enfant created the diagonal and roundabouts around the city of DC to open up the space like Paris. This layer of man-made pattern overlays the organization of the city. The bees would impose their new organization and imprint the existing levels of control, organization and movement.
