Bee Yourself

Hiving Social Site

Things around the honeycomb hideout have become a bit predictable.

Shake ’em up with Hiving, a new social site that makes plans so you don’t have to.

Founder Sally Horchow, girl about town and coauthor of The Art of Friendship, wants to “party with a purpose.” Hiving members receive e-mail invitations to happenings that are entertaining, educational, and unlikely to be things that you’d arrange yourself, such as seances for skeptics, tea parties for tee making, or field trips to the firing range followed by classic American cuisine. Next up: Make or Break Your New Year’s Resolutions.

It’s free to join, but each event comes with a price tag, a portion of which goes to a charity that’s related to the activity or theme.

When it’s over, you’re sure to leave with something other than the promise of a hangover.

But not without catching a buzz.

Available online at hiving.net. The exclusive referral code for DailyCandy readers is DCHIVING.
