We Bees are currently plotting our 2009 tour schedule, and we’d LOVE to collaborate with you to organize a Beehive presentation in your area.

Picture-lectures and workshops to be understood by anyone - not just the experts and political analysts! JOIN IN as we de-construct the complex and overwhelming issues that are shaping our world, using bio-regionally accurate depictions of animals and insects as metaphors to link cultural and ecological diversity.

Are you interested in collaborating on a print-run with the Beehive? Learn more about print run collaborations and fundraising for your community or organization!

Come join us on August 15th and dance the night away under the enchanting spell of the Beehive Collective's annual Blackfly Ball! It's magical torchlit bootyshakin' by raging waterfalls, y'all!

During the Machias Wild Blueberry Festival, the Blackfly Ball has become a much anticipated event for both Downeast Maine and folks throughout the Northeast - it never fails to be a night to remember! Mingle with a flood of folks from near and far and romp to the sounds of this all-star lineup:

-the Orange River Jazz Band
(homegrown Washington County Jazz!)

-University of Maine Machias Ukelele Club
(a madcap ukulele ensemble of epic proportion!)

-the What Cheer! Brigade
(a riotous street orchestra from Providence!)

+ special guests!

There's a rideboard at the following link: http://www.ridebuzz.org/events-group/4th-annual-blackfly-ball-4077.html There's usually cars coming from New York, Boston and other points around the Northeast... Please post if you're looking to gather a swarm of folks to come up!

Camping is available at the Hive House... if you'd like to stay for the weekend! (get in touch and let us know!)

See you there!

The Polinizaciones grass roots project is based upon the joint whole work between communities, pollinator bees, ants in solidarity, different people and related collectives in Colombia, Panama, Ecuador and Venezuela, in order to create a space to converse, as well as to build and understand our history in the context of globalization, Plan Colombia, FTA, IIRSA-Plan Puebla Panama, and transnationalisation.

Polinizaciones Bees are eager to collaborate on the printing of 1,500 posters and 10,000 copies of a Plan Colombia Coloring Book to be used in schools and with youth groups across the communities of these areas. Read More!
