Backwards Beekeepers in LA Times "Brand X"


Writer Jessica Hundley interviewed Kirk, Amy and me for a piece in this week's LA Times "Brand X" section:
In L.A....the urban bee-keeping community has been growing exponentially, in large part due to the efforts of one Kirk Anderson, a longtime beekeeper and a man who does not suffer fools gladly.

Anderson's philosophy is simple: "We call ourselves the Backwards Beekeepers 'cause we do everything ass-backwards, compared to everybody else. Everyone else is treating their hives, using chemicals. But we keep no dope bees."
