A GOOD TIME TO HELP OUT AT THE HIVE! |
|
We 'lil bees are off to an extremely busy start to the New Year. Our calendar is jam-packed with up-and-coming completion of the Mesoamerica Resiste graphic, our participation in the counter conferences for both the RNC and the DNC, and a serendipitous opportunity to launch a new graphics campaign about Mountaintop Removal coal mining in the Appalachian Mountains!
Since the Hive is "a buzz" with activity, we are not in a position to plan an all-out work party as we have done in years past. But we still wanna give folks the opportunity to come visit us in Maine!
So...we are setting aside the two weeks before the Blackfly Ball as a time for folks to come help out. If you intend to make the trek, be prepared to: help us gear up for the Blackfly Ball, finish some small projects on the Grange Hall, prepare materials for our upcoming epic tour, and of course get a taste of Maine in the summertime while learning what it means to be a worker bee!
BEEHIVE VOLUNTEER WINDOW INFO
Thanks to all of the love and elbow grease donated by folks who helped out during past years’ workparties, the Grange is only in need of a few finishing touches to be at its functional and aesthetic best.
So this year, instead of hosting a full-on workparty for the Grange, we are hopin' folks who come visit will inspire and support us as we prepare to launch two new graphics campaigns whilst also making the Third Annual Blackfly Ball a night to remember!
We're lookin' for folks who are willing to help out with some administration & paper pushing, poster rolling, meal preparation (and consumption!), and who can bring overall good energy to an exciting but super-busy time in the life of the hive!

SECOND ANNUAL BLACKFLY BALL |
|
Please join us in celebration- you are invited to attend the Second Annual Blackfly Ball- a dress up dance party for all! The Ball will happen from the afternoon till evening on Saturday, August 18th, during the 32nd Annual Machias Wild Blueberry Festival.
This event, to be held in the Beehive Collective's newly restored Grange Hall, will feature over 30 musicians in three bands (!)-- try if youwish, but we anticipate you'll have a hard time stopping yourself from dancing to the amazing musical lineup:
Swing to the energetic sounds of the Orange River Valley Jazz Band, a 6 piece ensemble homegrown in Washington County.
Dance, stomp and twirl to the uproarious tunes of the Rude Mechanical Orchestra , a 15 piece marching band from New York City!
And let's not forget the unique sounds of UMaine Machias' own Ukulele Club!
It will be a night to remember, so mosey on
down to the Machias Valley Grange Hall, on the waterfall in downtown Machias, and join in on all the fun.
This event is FREE and open to all folks of all ages, but please, no
drugs or alcohol. Please get in touch and let us know if you would like to stay
overnight, there will be campaing spaces available at the Hive house. Hope to see you there!

our doorstep on nearly the same day, we were overjoyed
to receive the finished editions of two new publications.
In the first book, Works
of Heart,
the Beehive Collective is featured in an entire
chapter detailing both our local and international
work.
"This full-color celebration of citizen artists
revitalizing their communities profiles ten exemplary
grassroots arts projects. Stories range from children
building a mud facade on their Oregon school to
an annual blessing-procession and festival in North
Philadelphia that brings to life dozens of the
most derelict blocks in urban America."

 We
are also extremely honored to have our Biotech
Puppeteer image featured in entirey and as chapter
headings in Sandor Katz's fantastic new work The
Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved
"The
Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved takes
on Big Food by profiling grassroots activists
who challenge the way we think about food. From
community-supported local farmers to raw milk
producers forced to fly under the radar of Big
Government, this book shows how ordinary people
can find their way out of the corporate food
maze and take direct responsibility for their
own health and nutrition."

Centennial Celebration | New Hive Home
 |
The
Centennial of the Machias Valley Grange Hall
is fast approaching! Us bees are pushing full
steam ahead with building restorations. Infinite
thank-yous to those generous folks who are dropping
from the sky, as if by magic, to help us overcome
tremendous obstacles. The home stretch is upon
us!

more information about our restoration work and
the Centennial celebration on AUGUST
20th, 2005 (including a schedule)

THE
HIVE HAS EXPANDED!
The
search is over and we have secured
a new home! No, we're not leaving Machias, we've
just finally found a live/work space that's beyond
our dreams, and it's only five minutes on foot
from the Grange. It provides us with the capacity
to remain in Machias year-round and have a full-time
base of operations. It's the new nucleus for
all of our projects.
To clarify, it was no sudden windfall of money that enabled this to happen!-
rather, this was made possible through advocacy and loans from local non-profit
and commercial lenders who enabled us to only need a very minimal down
payment. Phew!
