Beekeeping on the Urban Fringe
Knoll Farm
Brentwood, CA
One in three mouthfuls of the food we eat comes as a result of the work of honeybees. These pollinators are in trouble.
Learn about the life of the honeybee, the world-wide threat to honeybee health and what beekeepers and farmers on the urban fringe are doing to sustain the lives of bees. Learn about bee habitat and what the public can do to improve and support the lives of honeybees and other pollinators.
