Who we are We're a group of organic, treatment-free beekeepers in Los
Angeles, with branches now forming in other cities.

We're "Backwards" because we rely on observation and natural practices to
keep our bees thriving rather than pesticides, chemicals, or treatments of
any kind.
Want to know more? Look in the "key posts" section just below.
