The bad buzz: The honeybees are disappearing and we don’t know why. The good buzz: We’ve found out where the city’s painters, poets, musicians, and artistically inclined are congregating.
After watching an Andy Warhol doc, Rykarda Parasol got a bee in her bonnet and created a community space for fellow artistes, and thus The Hive, a private salon in Russian Hill, was hatched.
Enlisting a few drones, the chanteuse transformed the former noodle factory into a honey pot of a parlor. There’s plenty of blank wall space in the back and room up front for readings, music sets, and sleepover parties. The vibe: homespun and come-as-you-are. (Just don’t spill red wine on the pristine white couch.)
Right now, the gallery is invitation only with no regular hours, but stay tuned for art potluck nights, movie screenings, and galas.
There’s no address listed. Just look for a gray building on the corner of Hyde and Pacific.
And if you don’t like it, buzz off.
The Hive, corner of Hyde and Pacific Streets (hivesf.com).
