"It was a wonderful program on so many levels. First the music and the interactive parts for children kept even the youngest engaged and they definitely learned the message about not being afraid of bees and how they can help . . . Among all of that there was even more content for the grown-ups in the audience presented in a fun and entertaining way!”
– Marcia Hickey, Children’s Librarian, Wareham Free Library
"I really enjoyed the play "To Bee or Not to Bee." It was an interesting blend of environmental education in a format that worked well for a very wide age range. A day care provider with young children told me "It was a great topic, and the music, dance and puppets captivated my young children. Some of them have a very hard time sitting still, but they were focused the entire time." I especially enjoyed the music. The keyboard player was great and really added to the show. One of her songs is still stuck in my head three days later." - Linda Hicks, Director, Montague Public Library
