Dear Beekeepers:

My friend who is a teacher at Estes Hill Elementary sent me this information about a beautiful project at Estes Hills. I pass it along in case anyone is interested.

THE GOOD OF THE HIVE

A global art project to raise awareness about the current struggle of the honeybee and the importance of all pollinators. Mural artist Matt Willey is painting 50,000 individual honeybees in 30-40 murals around the world to raise awareness about the issue of honeybee and pollinator health.

Let’s bring a mural to Estes Hill Elementary School!

The mural will become a part of a global series of murals that Matt is creating over the course of the next five years. This is a huge opportunity for our students to get a first-hand education on pollinator health as well as the power of art to change the world!

We simply need to raise some money.
We have received a commitment to match up to $1500 in donations, so we only need to raise $3500 to reach the $5000 goal.

Here is how we are going to do it:
Sponsor a bee! For $75 you can sponsor a bee and get your name on a plaque
near the mural. It can be a personal of a business name.

Sponsor a Flower. For $50 you can sponsor a flower. Flower level donation is
not recognized on the plaque.

Become the Queen Bee of the Estes Hill Mural! There is only one
Queen Bee painted within the mural. She will be auctioned to the highest bidder and your name (or the name you choose) will bee immortalized on the plaque as Queen Bee forever! The bidding starts at $200.

To sponsor a bee: Go to http://www.thegoodofthehive.com and click on the
“Support” page. When you are making your donation please specify “Estes Hill” in the box marked “Purpose.” The amount donated ($75 = Bee, $50 = Flower) will let the artist know what your donation level is. Below $50 you get a huge “Thank you!”

To bid on the Queen Bee: Go to http://tinyurl.com/EstesBee The highest bid
amount (name will remain anonymous) will be posted daily on The Good of the Hive Facebook page.

The bidding closes when the last bee is painted on the mural. The artist will
announce the winner on the final day of painting the mural.

Matt Willey has been painting murals for over 24 years. His work has appeared
on the cover of Veranda Magazine, the New York Times, Interior Design
Magazine and many other publications.
