Bee colony troubles don't affect the honey
In your Savor section (Feb. 21), an item recommended gourmet honey from ArtisanSweets with an article that contained the comment, "If you're worried about the recent threat to local bee colonies ... ." The local honey harvest is not contaminated; it's facing a shortage. Don't beekeepers like the Bowers of Julian, profiled in the paper on Feb. 15, have enough to worry about without misleading comments going out to their customers?
I'm a repeat customer of the Bowers' Honeybee Harvest, and I encourage other area residents to help them out by giving them business at their farmer's market stands on Yanceyville and Sandy Ridge roads.
