Hingham High School Greenhouse Fundraiser Tonight

A fundraiser for the proposed greenhouse to be built at Hingham High School will be held tonight at 7pm in the high school auditorium.

REACH (Responsible Energy Alternatives Coalition of Hingham) will sponsor a screening of the award-winning documentary The Vanishing of the Bees, called by some "the most important documentary film since An Inconvenient Truth."

The movie explores colony collapse disorder, a worldwide occurrence in which worker bees abruptly and mysteriously disappear from the hive. Although there are theories about what causes CCD, there is still no certain cause for this syndrome, although environmental factors are thought to play a part.

Also on hand for the showing will be local beekeepers Sondra Schmidt, Renee Ricciardi, John Gauley of Glastonbury Abbey,Hingham MA, and Stephanie Camello of Queen Bee Honey, Pembroke MA, who will be able to share their beekeeping experiences and offer bee-related products. Cherly Dunlap, cherylydunlapartist.com, will also be selling her wonderful bee themed cards which support the Honey Bee Sanctuary. There will be a Q & A session with the beekeepers immediately following the film. We hope you'll 'bee' there to help support the greenhouse, a wonderful educational tool for a sustainable future.

Doors open at 6:30pm to browse displays and vendors.  Suggested donation is $5.
