Buzzing for Bees

Chef Richard Sandoval sticks to his principles when it comes to bee conservation

His passion for cuisine, its ingredients and the importance of bees, also led Sandoval to write a children’s book, Viva Abejas (Amazon Publishing), to educate kids about the vital role of bees in our ecosystem. “When I learned that one in every three bites of food we eat relies on bees, I knew I had to take action,” he says. “Viva Abejas was born from a desire to give back to these incredible pollinators and educate future generations about their importance. I wanted to reach the next generation in a way that felt engaging and accessible.”
