Never once have I heard anyone in Joshua Tree say, “There’s
nothing to do around here.” Devoted as people are to the quiet and solitude of
desert life, what I keep hearing is, “I’ve never been so social in my entire
life.” There’s so much to do here, and so many great people to do things with.
If movies are your thing, the Joshua Tree International Film Festival needs volunteers. If you can move, fold or hang stuff, make phone calls, or collect tickets, leave a message at tinyurl.com/hdstar-jtiff.
Honey, I’m home! There are so many bees out that when the mesquite tree bloomed in our yard bees just moved right into an empty hive we had nearby! If you have an unwanted swarm and need a bee rescue and removal, contact Charla and Michael Shamhart of High Desert Beekeeping at 760-401-0689. They do not charge for removals. They also mentor beekeepers. Visit their site at tinyurl.com/hdstar-bees.
