Chef Alan Wong in Honolulu is known for his passion for Hawaii's locally grown ingredients. He put together the Farmer Series Dinner, a program that brings the farmer into the restaurant, to connect with both the guests and staff, deepening their connection to the food source.
In this video, he explores the importance of bees. Propelled by learning that over 80% of the food supply is connected to the work of the bee population, he is using the Farmer Series Dinner to raise awareness. He is now a beekeeper as well.
Perhaps gourmet chefs will play a role in re-growing the bee population? Here is one chef who is doing his part right now.
