The Beehive Collective creates visually stunning graphic multi-tool for activists and ordinary people seeking real solutions to energy extraction and climate change.
After two years of collaborative research, storysharing, metaphor crafting, and meticulous illustrating, the bees have completed an epic illustration about mountaintop removal coal mining! Teeming with bioregionally appropriate plant and animal species from the most biodiverse temperate forests in the world, the critters that appear in this image are significant to the Appalachian
mountains both ecologically AND culturally. A full cast of characters by their common names is available in the narrative.
"In our workshops and presentations, we use
giant, portable murals to deconstruct issues as far-reaching as globalization, climate change, colonization and resource extraction. We strive to provoke discussion, raise hard questions, and share hopeful stories about the small-scale changes and actions we can undertake to build a better world." - The Beehive Collective
