Jesse Carmichael of Maroon 5 checked in with fans on the group’s MySpace TV channel, discussing the web site votesolar.org, a group Jesse’s sister works for. Singer Adam Levine was going to be in the clip too, but Jesse said because there were bees hovering where it was recorded, he got scared and ran. While explaining the group’s efforts to get an alternative energy bill currently stuck in congress approved, Levine momentarily returned, only to run off again after encountering more bees. Watch the message below.

I just went to the show in Boston on Saturday and the whole thing was very eco-friendly. They had an eco-village along with a bunch of other green booths. I should also add that Maroon 5 sounded incredible live. I actually now get to see a bunch more of their shows because I snagged an internship with Skittles and Starburst that is taking me around the country with the band as a part of the promotion for their sweepstakes.
