Resumen

This theoretical-conceptual study establishes a transdisciplinary analogy between the biological organization of honeybees (Apis mellifera) and the foundational principles of the solidarity economy, framed within the debates of ecological economics and complexity sciences. The overarching objective was to identify apian mechanisms of self-organization, cooperation, and resilience that could be translated into structural guidelines for alternative socioeconomic systems capable of responding to ecosocial crises.Methodologically, the research adopted an exploratory-descriptive qualitative approach, based on systematic review and theoretical modeling. Inclusion criteria focused on indexed studies addressing honeybee behavior, collective organization theories, and solidarity economy experiences, while exclusion criteria discarded non-peer-reviewed grey literature. The methodological process included comparative analysis, theoretical triangulation, and participatory validation. The findings demonstrate that deliberative decentralization, adaptive role distribution, and collaborative governance observed in beehives closely correspond to solidarity economy practices such as cooperatives, time banks, and agroecological networks. These results support the construction of a bioinspired framework that highlights resilience, equity, and sustainability as central axes of collective organization. It is concluded that the apian model functions not only as an illustrative metaphor, but also as a transferable functional architecture grounded in bioinspiration principles. This contribution strengthens the design of resilient and inclusive socioeconomic systems, enriching both academic debates and organizational practices across diverse territorial contexts.
