Cal Poly beekeeper optimistic about local honeybees after winter rains
Honeybees are essential pollinators for our local and global food supply, and after years of drought and other threats, a local beekeeper is optimistic about the coming season. Jeremy Rose teaches beekeeping at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He also owns a local bee business. He said honeybee colonies managed by beekeepers live in wooden boxes that stack on top of one another. The boxes have small openings so the worker bees can go in and out.
