After about three months in conceptual planning, and a few weeks of production, we are in the final run before hosting the “Bee-In Social” event, and the launch of the Pollen Nation (http://www.pollennation.org).This event was inspired by the apparent plight of the honey bees … and a great impetus to co-create a hyper-creative social networking event, at a very cool venue (http://www.gracecathedral.org). It’s a nearly perfect opportunity to generate social art under such an essential and beautful metaphore.Here is the official inviration:- - -This is an invitation to Bee All You Can Bee …Many of us are aware of the current plight of the honey bees.  In response, we have launched the Pollen Nation (http://www.pollennation.org) — a network of people and organizations who are hosting the Bee-In Social: an event to celebrate the lives of the bees, and take conscious action to promote pollinator’s lives and the lives they touch.Held in one of San Francisco’s most historical, architectural, and spiritually significant venues, the Bee-In Social will include interactive arts performance, music, visual projections, storytelling, and talks with experts in the field of pollination and the bee crisis.The Bee-In SocialFriday, May 25Grace Cathedral, San Francisco7 - 9:30pm, (doors open at 6:30)$5 - $20 at the doorMore information about the event is here: http://www.pollennation.org/event.html100% of post-production proceeds will be donated to the Hive Relief Fund: http://www.pollennation.org/sponsors.htmlIt would be great if you would like to bee involved and here’s how:~ Join the Central Hive!  The honey bees can inspire us now to accentuate our pollinator-like human-bee-ingness.
