This spring has been full of urban agricultural adventures. The most buzzy is, of course, bees! Our neighbor, Iain is not only a fantastic winemaker (check out his wine at eightarmscellars.com) but has also has been bitten by the bee bug. He turned that bite into a neighborhood adventure in bee-keeping by inviting a group of (mostly) neighbors to join him in getting a hive. He calls us the "California Street Bee Co-op" or CalBeeCo. We all chipped in for supplies, and get to help with the hive maintenance. As the member with the most bee-education, though, Iain has been taking lead with the projects, but it's been exciting to watch the installation and bits of maintenance that have happened so far.
