Ron Breland is an organic beekeeper who lives in West Nyack with his wife, who is a terrific gardener. They make a fine pair! Greg was interviewing Ron for an article on honey and bees for The Valley Table magazine, so I went along.
He makes these fascinating hives, which are shaped, unbelievably, like bees.

I get my African Blue Basil from Bumps & Co each year, and it is one of the best performers in the garden. And guess what, the bees love it.
