    Haroll Bell Honey

    Beekeeper provides area stores with a naturally healthy resource


    Harroll Bell's steady gait matches the measured pace of his speech, which matches the rhythm of his gestures. And all that steadiness comes in handy for Bell's 35-year hobby of keeping bees. Dressed in the standard one-piece nylon bee suit and mesh beekeepers helmet with his metal smoking can in hand, Bell looks something like a cross between an infectious disease worker and the Tin Man as he wanders out to the leafy corner of his backyard where the hum is coming from. He got into beekeeping while he was working as a shrinkwrap artist, and a beekeeping friend asked him to design a honeybee for members of his guild. Bell says he didn't have any hobbies at the time, and asked to go along to a meeting. Since then, he's been selling honey produced in his Cupertino backyard to local stores and farm stands, including locations in Sunnyvale and Cupertino.   More
