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.
--We'll sign letters to Ace and True Value Hardware asking them to stop selling bee-killing pesticides.
After the brunch/program, you're invited to join us as we deliver a letter to a hardware store manager, or, you can volunteer to deliver a letter to a store near you. Of course, healthy bees always return to the hive, so we'll expect our bees to get back to us with reports of their adventures. We are busy, busy bees!!
