Good on Choboter
We do need the bees.
"He's been inline skating around Stanley Park dressed as a bee since 6 p.m. the previous day (July 25) - with no sleep - and still has over six hours to go before he's reached his 24-hour target.
Choboter has a non-profit called Blading for Bees and as out-there as his most recent adventure may sound, it's just one of several crazy feats he's embarked upon in the name of pollinators.
During the school year, Blading for Bees, which is partnered with other pollinator protection non-profits, works with the education system, but in the summer, Choboter straps on his skates (the fancy efficient kind with larger wheels that are more like speed skates) and thinks of "badass things" to do to raise awareness.
“We do crazy inline skating adventures to raise awareness and educate people about bees and how we’re all connected,” he tells V.I.A. over the phone."
