Swarm to Save the Bees - Dallas

Join the Swarm and take part in an annual national campaign of global actions to Save the Bees! Together we will pester the pesticide pushers and swarm together to BAN neonicotinoids and other poisonous chemicals. We need to keep the bees alive to pollinate our food!

Start getting your BEE costumes ready now! We'll have a family-friendly gathering with pot-luck brunch, BEE flash-mob dance lessons/practice, and dance for all ages.

Dress as a bee, or bee-keeper...or wear yellow & black...or just come as you please!  

--We'll have a pot-luck brunch with food made from ingredients that are pollinated by bees. (We'll post a list of pollinated foods for you.) 

--We'll hear from speakers and beekeepers, and, for those who are so inclined, we'll practice and perform the "Bee Dance" (see instructional video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrgUXy05KP0&feature=youtu.be ).  

--We'll have activities and favors for the kids. 

--We'll make group photos, posing with "Bee Brunch" signs and with a "bee slogan" spelled out in lights.  

Native Prairies Association of Texas Fort Worth Chapter: Seed Mixer - Fort Worth

Seed Mixer! Chapter Board Election & Future Prairie Goals

This meet-up, we are going to have a seed mixer. This is a fun way to exchange seeds, learn about some of our prairie plants and visit with each other about what we love! We will also have a quick election to get chapter board members in place. The Fort Worth chapter has accomplished a lot. In fact, we've accomplished all the goals that the founding steering committee set forth in early 2015. Now, it's time to pass the reins to a newly-elected Board & hear from you what you'd like the chapter to accomplish in the future.
