beeDAO

The foraging range of bees define the borders of the territory. The foraging range of a population depends on the bee species and on the abundance of profitable forage available. Beeholders are mostly honey bees who have a mean range of 2·3 km. The bee delegate decides on the claimed range depending on enviromental factors when joining the Beeings hDAO.
Proposals have to refer to a minimum of one territory, If this territory overlaps or touches another territory, the proposal can relate to these additional territories.
A territory is identified by its number. The number is determined by the first hive that settled there. If a hive has the number #0013, the territory will receive the same number, e.g. territory#0013.

Beeholders are members in the Beeings hDAO. They are human and non-human agents with the exact same decision making power. They can make proposals and can act within the range of the Charta. Their aim is to maintain and improve the well-being of bees.
Beeholders can authorize a representative called Delegate.

Beeholders can make proposals. Proposals are in line with the values defined in the Charta.
Proposals are either steps of action that make the eco-system of a specific territory more habitable for bees (Type A) or they are about changing the fluid part of the Charta (Type C).
Type A proposals refer to a specific territory number. They will typically outline the kind of action, the date of action, the place(s) of action and the estimated cost of action.
Type C proposals will suggest specific amendments, additions or removals to the Charta.
Proposals must be submitted one week ahead of the beeholder assembly and will be verified (or dismissed) by the Bee Delegates.

Beeholders can authorize a representative called Delegate.
Non-human Beeholders, such as Bees, are represented by a delegation: data, which is gathered from their respective habitat. The data is created by self energizing sensor-kits installed in and around the the hive. The data is made acessible for human beeholders via opensource visualisation platforms. The bee-data is put into context with other relevant data, such as weather, dust and other bee-impacting and available information. An algorithm or human beekeeper will interpret this information and draw conclusions around their state of well-being. This information will guide the delegates' proposals.
Human beeholders can represent in person, or authorize a human delegate.

The values, structures and rituals of governance of the Beeings hDAO are defined and stated In the Beeholder's Charta. The Charta consists of the 'core' and the 'fluid' sections. The core can only be changed with a supermajority of all Beeholders, whereas the fluid part can be changed by simple majority.
The fluid part cannot overrule the core part.
The main clause of the core is: The purpose of the Beeings hDAO is to improve and maintain the well-being of bees.
Changes to the charta can be proposed by Beeholders. The proposals (Type C) must be submitted one week ahead of the beeholder assembly, are verified by the Bee Delegates before they are decided upon in the Assembly.

The assembly is the decision making body of the Beeings hDAO. Within the assembly proposals are presented, discussed and decided upon. Implemented proposals are reported to the assembly.
There are two types of assemblies:
an ongoing digital assembly with the objective to have an agil decision making in regards to proposals type a.
an re-occuring analog assembly with the objective to discuss and reform the charta (fluid and core). The analog assembly is subject to rituals of strengthening the relation of human and non-human beeholders.

The Pot is the storage of wealth and defines how wealth is gathered, stored and distributed. The Pot is fed by donations human beeholders submit when becoming a beeholder. In return they will receive a comb, which is a share from the Beeings hDAO.
The wealth in the Pot funds the proposals, that the assembly has agreed on.
The pot's wealth is managed by an algorithm, which makes sure, that system-maintance, long and short-term proposals and wealth peaks are balanced out over time.

The Beeings hDAO is an autonomus digital organisation, which, due to the complexity of data, maintenance of related technologies and other interdependencies, is - for the time being - supported by humans. The longterm goals is an organisation that allows an equal relationship of human and non-human beeholders, full autonomy and independence from external support structures.

Proposals that have a positive impact on the well-being of the bees within a specific territory (or cluster of territories), e.g., planting of bee-feeding trees.

Proposals that will fund additional hives, sensors and territories anywhere in the world.

In case your colony is about to swarm, make a proposal if the colony wants sensor data representation.

Proposals that support the maintenance and development of BeeDAO, e.g., organizational costs, gas fees, programming or event management.

Proposals to improve the functioning of BeeDAO, e.g., changes to the charta, organization structure and/or rituals in the assembly, etc.

Proposals that target long term goals, e.g. research, policy making, etc.

A dark and sinister proposal that, if granted, will hurt everyone: the territory, the bees, humans. x moth is the only proposal that can be handed in anonymously. Non-voting delegates' votes will go to the x-moth.

Want to leave the organization? Propose the sting and sacrifice your sensor kits and wealth (to whatever extent) to the organization.
