What seems like just yesterday…I worked for the merchandise division’s visual department at the Happiest Place on Earth. When I left that position, one piece of advice I took away with me was “always look up.” At the time it seemed like rather elementary advice, since at 5′ 2″ I had a tendency to see the world at eye level, missing everything above me.

This story is about Guerilla Beekeepers, and it started because my lovely neighbors Shannon and Alex had a hive that needed removing…and I got a text about what a great story this would make on my blog! In no time at all, I received a call from Bill Walter, we had an exchange, and now I’m writing about him. Their bee biz is located in Silverado Canyon, but they can be found at our very own Farmer’s and Artisans Market each Saturday morning. In fact, I’ve already bought their honey several times and found it to be DELISH!

One step into Down Home Antiques tells you right away that you are in for something special. It starts with the warm, welcoming “hello” from a member of owner Peggy Arbenz’s staff, a verbal embrace that says, “Come on in! My, it’s good to see you.
