Record-Low Salmon Returns
Commercial salmon fishermen in California are expecting another financial hit this summer because of record low salmon returns in Northern California rivers. Yesterday, fishermen and other salmon experts packed a conference room in Santa Rosa to hear population estimates from state officials -- and to hash out ways to manage a fishery in crisis. Regulators will begin meeting this week to set the calendar for the upcoming season.

Bee Bandits
Every year about this time, California almond orchards fill with brilliant white blooms, ready to be pollinated by bees. California farmers grow most of the nation's fruits and nuts, but for several years, they've been battling empty bee hives ravaged by colony collapse disorder. Now some of the hives themselves have gone missing. Sasha Khokha reports on how beekeepers are feeling the sting of bee bandits.
