Simply Living Social - Good Green Fun
Everything you want to know about bees, including the delicious honey wine that is made right on the premises at Brothers Drake Meadery! Entrepreneur Oron Benary will guide us through the sweet joy of discovering mead. At this Columbus hot spot, “local” is not just a buzzword - local honey, local blueberries, local art on the walls, and soon we'll be pouring from local bottles. PLUS, Barry & Carmen Conrad of Conrad Hive and Honey (www.hiveandhoney.com) will be our local experts for BOTH the Social at Brothers Drake and Simply Living's next Film Night on 2/29 where we'll screen Vanishing of the Bees. In 2011, Carmen Conrad was named "Beekeeper of the Year."
Simply Living Social gathers for "good green fun" every 2nd Friday. The venue changes but we meet and mix starting at 6:30 pm. It's free!

Think Local Forum
7 - 9 pm
Sponsored by Sustainable Worthington
Why support independent locally owned businesses? “Local” is an often used term these days – local foods, locally owned business. But how does supporting local entrepreneurs benefit you and our community? What sort of local economy is possible in the Central Ohio area? What is happening in other US communities? This forum will help you gain a deeper understanding of how strong local economies can benefit all of us. The director of SOLE (Support Our Local Economy) will give an overview of the issues related to local vs. nonlocally based economies. Representatives from some of the “building blocks” of a local economy - local independent retail, sustainable agriculture, and community capital - will talk about their many current programs in the Central Ohio area.
Panel members:
Chuck Lynd, SOLE – Support Our Local Economy
Matthew Shad, ECDI – Economic and Community Development Institute;
Alex Rider, SBB – Small Business Beanstalk
Lauren Edwards, Local Matters
820 High Street, Worthington, OH 43085

Vanishing of the Bees Film
Earth Block Education Center
Wednesday, February 29
at 6:30 pm (film starts at 7)
Little bee. Big Story. Honeybees have been mysteriously disappearing across the planet, literally vanishing from their hives. Known as Colony Collapse Disorder, this phenomenon has brought beekeepers to crisis. Commercial honeybee operations pollinate crops that make up one out of every three bites of food on our tables. of the Bees, narrated by Ellen Page as they strive to keep their bees healthy and fulfill pollination contracts. The 90-minute film will be followed by a discussion led by local experts Barry & Carmen Conrad, (www.hiveandhoney.com), who were recently named "Beekeepers of the Year”. And for a different dimension, Ken Harsh, a nationally respected metaphysician, will add the meta perspective on the bees’ importance.
