This document discusses sustainable design and opportunities related to bees and biodiversity. It addresses how sustainable design is about care and relationships rather than just consumption. Several bee and biodiversity opportunities are mentioned, including high nature value farming in Europe, green infrastructure, urban biodiversity preservation, reconnecting pollinator corridors, api routes and honey routes in Slovenia, connecting schools and farmers through biocanteens, farmer live streaming, and multifunctional food hubs like BIOfarm that create healthy ecosystems.
