Big Bruce Buzzbee the largest bumblebee on the planet goes up against pesky pesticide chemicals that are threatening his existence and ours in the wrestling ring. Will he have a new pollinating friend help him to come fight this year??????
The Ring is set up on Cross st in Ypsilanti Michigan. FREE for families and everybody to attend. To keep it free we need support! Some of the proceeds will actually go to teaching others how to bee keep and suppling them with education and hives.
🐝 Let’s Get Ready to Rumble for the Bees!
The buzz is building, the stingers are ready, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Welcome to The Rumble of the Bumble—the wildest, fuzziest, and most important community festival in Ypsilanti!
We believe that saving the planet shouldn't just be a chore; it should be a celebration. That’s why we’re taking over Cross Street for a day of art, music, and high-flying activism. But we need your help to keep the nectar flowing and the admission FREE for everyone.
🥊 The Main Event: Nature vs. Chemicals
Forget the heavyweight championships you’ve seen before. In our custom ring on Cross Street, you’ll witness the showdown of the century:
Big Bruce Buzzbee (the largest bumblebee on the planet!) vs. The Pesky Pesticides. It’s a pro-wrestling spectacle with a purpose. Watch Bruce fight for his life—and our food supply—against the toxic villains threatening our pollinators. It’s high-energy, hilarious, and carries a message that sticks.
🌻 What’s the Buzz?
