Smiths Bee Farm LOCAL Honey

J.R. Githens, 78 years of age, has about 50 hives peppering his 6-acre Prunedale property among oaks, manzanitas and two lumbering goats. Each hive was built by Githens and resembles a small wooden stack of drawers, with bees vanishing and appearing through an inconspicuous slit at the base. His honey is second to none.
