This year 8 million bees hitched a ride to Hudson from Georgia with beekeeper Alden Marshall.
Every spring Alden Marshall makes the 2,100 round-trip journey from his home in Hudson, NH, to Claxton, Ga., and back to pick up honey bees. Millions of them. He's not sure exactly how many, but this time around he brought 900 3-pound packages, and each package contains about 13,000 bees. That's about 8 million bees, give or take a few hundred thousand, he says. It's a ritual Marshall has performed for years, something he does so local beekeepers can continue to keep bees, which are a vital part of the ecosystem. Without bees we don't have pollination. And without pollination, we don't have much to eat. In recent years, Colony Collapse Disorder has been hitting New England hives hard. Marshall and others are struggling to figure out what …

Audiovisual tour of the land that will soon become the Bridge Street Waterfront complex.
A few weeks ago the city Planning Board approved Phase 1 of a proposed major waterfront development that be a game changer for Nashua. It will open access to an area that currently is secluded and undeveloped, save for some existing light industrial use. The Waterfront Prominade and Community Center will include apartments, a community center, shops and a restaurant, creating a new option for downtown living. It is a public/private partnership between the City of Nashua and Renaissance Downtowns. Curious to see the area, I asked assistant project manager James Vayo to walk me through the project. He recommended good walking shoes. And he was more than happy to oblige. So, equipped with a camera and a microphone, Vayo and I drove through …

Can you spare a canned good or two today for Amherst Street Elementary School's food pantry?
Amherst Street School has been working hard to assist school families who don't have access to nutritious food. About 75 percent of the school population qualifies for free or reduced lunch. The need is great. This school year a Backpack Food Pantry program was launched at the school. About 35-40 backpacks are distributed to students every other week (about 20 per week) to provide extra food assistance to those families over the weekends. The school has partnered with UNOs this weekend to “fill a bus” with healthy food to sustain the pantry for the rest of the school year. Most needed: staples like peanut butter, pasta and cereal. Please stop by UNO, 593 Amherst Street, Nashua, today from 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and give generously. …

Thanks to the generosity of the community, more than $10,000 was raised at Martha's Exchange Thursday.
UPDATE: According to a Facebook post on Martha's Exchange, Thursday's all-day fundraiser for Alvaro and Martha Galvis raised more than $10,000. The idea came from the waitstaff at Martha's, who wanted to do something to help longtime customers Alvaro and Martha Galvis, who were both injured in the April Boston Marathon bomb blast. Owner Bill Fokas was all in, and so was the community, based on your generous response: "It is with great pleasure to announce that our Galvis fundraiser raised over $10,000 tonight!
