Honeybees

Our campaign for Honey Bees started this week with a nonviolent, but loud action at Harvard University. Scientists at the Micro Robotic Lab at Harvard are creating the ROBOBEE, the honey bee’s proposed drone replacement. We visited there yesterday, directed of course by Savitri D, and we wore the wardrobe and bees she designed. The Queen Bee’s dress, under all the filagree, is from the Paris designer “Chloe” – so you can’t say activism is entirely divorced from fashion (Savitri discovered the glowing thing in a vintage shop in Soho.) The scientists listened to song and sermon. No police showed up. This was a world of pure academic gentility. We must have been like an apparition to them. We were in their building for about 45 minutes, handing out information and conversing after our vocalizing subsided. They simply haven’t thought through what they are doing, as far as we can discern. They are being paid very well to replace a magical animal being killed off by Monsanto and Bayer. They are making possible a factory farm future, with all the birds and bees killed off for not contributing to the eco-system of high profits. “You are preparing us for an unlivable future.” – the choir’s repeated phrase.
