"We keep healthy bee hives using natural management methods. As an ongoing effort we are breeding healthy, gentle queen bees that have mite-resistant behaviors. Starting in 2011, we will be selling queen bees that are locally adapted to the California Coast." The California Bee Company also strives to encourage small-scale beekeeping, and in 2010 published Beekeeping in Coastal California, a concise book that describes beekeeping methods as well as the flowers used by honey bees in this unique area of the world.
