The European Honeybee, a faithful friend and pollinator, has gone on strike. The media buzz around Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) alerted Nevada County honey enthusiasts to the stressors in the honey bee world.  What began as a quest for local honey comes full circle as they discover everyday people benefiting world wide bee survival. They explore the life & lore of honey bees and the challenges of beekeeping. From the mountains to the coast of Northern California, we’ll taste the hidden honey that keeps the juices of both the bees and the humans flowing.
The Quest is on!
