Meet Nimbee, the mascot who scorns bike lanes, development and change
Nimbee is not afraid to sting others to make a point. And his points always align with a Not In My Back Yard, or NIMBY, stance. He picks the places he goes and the signs he waves with a focus on a singular goal: To keep his hive and yours unchanged.
Saul said people in Connecticut, California and Colorado have asked Nimbee to participate in protests in their communities. Nimbee doesn’t currently have a travel budget, but Saul hopes to see him eventually attend events in other cities. The costume is made of mostly Styrofoam and felt, and when worn, it becomes a sweltering vessel. Saul has put it on a few times, but he said his friend, who prefers to remain anonymous, usually volunteers for that task. Because the costume can prove difficult to see out of, Saul often accompanies him dressed as a beekeeper named Han E. Combs.
“If anybody needs to have a long look in the mirror, it’s him and all those other YIMBYs who want to ruin our communities with more neighbors, more bikes, and more pedestrians,” he said. He called his critics “developer shills” and expressed an openness to flying to other cities to participate in protests. “I tell everyone how proud I am to be a NIMBY, and I want to encourage other NIMBYs to stand up for what they support — which is not supporting anything.
