Deciding ownership over beehives and honey

About the committee

Ownership of honey has been a pressing issue since the 13th December 2007, made infamous by the landmark legal victory of Barry B. Benson against humanity. Committee Overview In this specialized crisis committee, delegates must address the catastrophic ecological and economic fallout of the historic Benson v. Human Race ruling. With all honey repossessed by the global bee population and routine pollination grinding to a sudden halt, the Earth's biosphere faces imminent collapse. Delegates are tasked with navigating the unprecedented diplomatic relations between humans and the Hive. You must renegotiate fair-trade agricultural treaties, regulate inter-species resource management, and find a sustainable solution to save the world's flora before the global food supply chain entirely fails.

Deciding whether to eradicate constitutional monarchies to create classless bee hives

About the committee

The Fifth Bee International assembles amid rising unrest among worker bees across the globe. While many hives have evolved beyond absolute rule into constitutional monarchies—where the queen’s powers are theoretically limited by established norms and collective structures—critics argue that these systems remain fundamentally unequal. The queen retains symbolic and biological dominance, while workers continue to bear the full burden of labour, with little meaningful influence over production, distribution, or governance. This has led to increasing claims of systemic social injustice. Worker bees question whether constitutional monarchies merely disguise entrenched hierarchies under the appearance of reform, preserving privilege while denying true equality. Reports of overwork, lack of mobility between roles, and the suppression of dissent have intensified calls for structural change. A growing international movement now calls for the unification of worker bees across all hives—transcending borders, species variations, and traditions—to dismantle monarchic systems entirely. The ideological influence of figures such as Mooseblood has further accelerated revolutionary sentiment, framing the struggle as part of a broader movement of workers seeking emancipation from hierarchical control.
