“School of the Americas Watch (SOA Watch), the Latin America Solidarity Coalition (LASC) and the National Mobilization on Colombia greatly appreciate the cooperation with the Beehive Collective on different projects over the past year. Their fresh ideas, their humble approach and the collective’s steadfast commitment to movement building, mutual aid and collaboration has been an asset for our organizing. The work of the Beehive Collective goes far beyond the traditional understanding of Solidarity.” 
– Hendrik Voss, SOA Watch Networking Coordinator, Washington D.C.

“At large and small convergences of people throughout the Americas in recent years, the Beehive Collective has provided the visuals for the movement, giving it an artistic context and artistic voice. As a musician performing at large and small convergences around North America myself, there is no group of people that I run into quite as often as the Beehive folks. And as much as I run into folks from the collective, I run into their artwork a thousand times as often.” – David Rovics, political folk singer, Jamaica Plain, MA

“I’m a student at Ben Franklin High School and you just visited my art class today and I just want to say that I was blown away. You’ve enlightened me and all I’ve thought about was your presentation and the people in Colombia you were talking about. Please tell the Bees that they’ve opened up a person to this problem and have given her a cause.”
– Nicola Jones, Cheerleader, Franklin High School, New Orleans, LA

“The Beehive posters place all of our organizations and all of our struggles together on a single map in a way that no tired, ideological left wing laundry list ever can…I remember the proud moment when I saw the free radio ant with it’s antenna breaking through the planet’s crust, along with the IMC ant with the IMC logo on the desktop computer. I saw the place of my work for social change on the map of the movement and felt a great connection through it. The Beehive has always been generous with its materials, and have used them to help other groups fundraise. At a recent cheap art auction to benefit Philadelphia IMC, one of the highest bidded objects was one of the Beehive posters and a giant box of crayons to color it in!”
– Pete Tridish, Prometheus Radio Project, Philadelphia, PA

“All of us at the Grupo de Trabajo Colectivo del Istmo are excited about the coming PPP poster. One of the real benefits of the posters are they are true popular education- no need to read English – or any language – to get the message.”
– Wendy, El Grupo de Trabajo Colectivo del Istmo, Mexico

“The Beehive Collective is one of the most inspiring political art collectives I have ever come across. I am a student of tropical entomology and conservation: my interest is motivated by the loss of tropical habitats as a result of profit incentives, accelerated by institutions and programs such as NAFTA, WTO, Plan Colombia, World Bank, technologies such as biotechnology and the proposed CAFTA and FTAA. Their approach in using insects shows their respect for all forms of life, even the most tiniest creatures, and the impact these programs will have on them. The Beehive Collective is a unique, creative, and effective political arts collective that deserves all the support they can get.”
– Lisa Schonberg, Neotropical Entomologist, Drummer, Olympia Colombia Committee, Olympia, WA
