Executive Chef Shannon Wrightson and Beekeeper John Gibeau – The inaugural Honey Harvest at The Fairmont Waterfront Hotel.
New guests of The Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in early June of this year were two notable queens. While they may not be of the royal lineage, their journey is unique. The queens hail from Italy with one raised in Kona Hawaii and the other in Santiago Chile. Their subjects have had an equally notable journey, travelling around the globe from their home of New Zealand to join the queens  here in Vancouver. Today the honey bees are the newest rooftop guests of The Fairmont Waterfront’s culinary team. – read more at www.urbanmixer.com

Question by beth l: How were pregnant African (American) slaves treated?
If slaves were worth a lot of money, how did the plantation owner treat a pregnant slave? After all she was in possession of valuable property….And, no I do not think this way. I am only asking out of curiosity. I watch a lot of history shows and have never seen this as a topic.
