Journalism on fire!

Will history blame the Internet, or the bees?

Even though The [San Francisco] Chronicle has been greatly downsized over the years, the food and wine section staff was housed in a separate building with a test kitchen, an extensive wine cellar, bees and a rooftop garden. The newspaper jarred its own branded honey and used homegrown produce in recipes. This care was recognized: The section was a four-time winner of the prestigious James Beard Foundation award for best food coverage.

That quote makes it sound like the SFChron no longer produces their own honey. Do I have any readers in the area who can confirm this? Or, alternatively, send me a jar of SFChron honey in return for…something negotiable. Drop me a line. Address is on the contact page.
