CUESA's Food Shed Is Back with "The Buzz about Bees"
| Saturdays | Honeybees do much more than just make honey. They play a critical role in our food system, pollinating a third of the crops we eat. Stop by the CUESA Food Shed at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market to get to know our buzz-worthy friends and learn how we can help protect them. Find the Food Shed tent next to the CUESA Info Booth on Saturdays, 9 am to 1:30 pm.
