The beloved and essential honey bee is under serious threat and with colony collapse disorder raging through our nation’s bee hives almost 1/2 of all honey
 bee colonies die each year. Though this is a challenge there is hope. My friend and best man at our wedding Taggart Siegal (director and writer of “The Real Dirt on Farmer John) has created an incredibly beautiful and inspiring documentary on the honey bee called “Queen of the Sun”. As our official launch of New Harmony’s educational program, New Harmony is collaborating with New Eden Collaborative of First Parish Church and Transition Newburyport to co-sponsor a fundraiser for New Eden Collaborative’s organic bee program on Sunday, February 12 at 4:30 Pm at First Parish Church Newbury,20 High Rd. Newbury. After the film New Hampshire-based Bio-dynamic beekeeper, Amy Robinson, will hold a discussion and Q&A session on organic and bio-dynamic beekeeping. Suggested donation is $10 to help support organic bees.
To give opportunity to further discussion and deepen community there will be a “Local Flavor” potluck downstairs in Holton Hall following the discussion.
