A new report published by Swarmed, a resource for bee removal and a tracking network of more than 10,000 beekeepers, found that this year's swarm season began an average of 17 days earlier than last year nationwide. In Bay Area counties, including San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin, some swarms arrived more than a month ahead of schedule. But bee experts think Swarmed's four-year dataset needs additional time to establish a trend.

Quarterly reports on who has received monetary relief and in what amount will be sent to the attorney general.

The DoJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment on how it would address Newsom's proposed tax.

The effort is part of TREEAMS - trees and dreams - which aims to see local kids plant 5,000 trees in the next three to five years in scorched areas of Altadena, the Palisades and Malibu. Students will tend to the roughly 2-year-old trees until they can be replanted in schools, parks and homes affected by the Palisades as well as the Eaton fire.

Florida is a noteworthy example. State leaders amended the state's 2023 Live Local Act for the third time this year. New Hampshire lawmakers are now revisiting a housing law passed last year. Housing advocates say the pattern of amendments is not evidence of flawed laws. They argue it reflects the reality that state preemption of local zoning authority requires continuous revision when local governments treat each new restriction as a puzzle to be solved in reverse.

In a separate filing, Sun Gir said that it has hired National Franchise Sales (NFS), a business brokerage firm, to help it sell some of its Carl's Jr. locations, but it did not specify which ones. The details of that process are still being worked out, with bids expected to be due in July and an auction potentially scheduled for August.

“We can't call it Kristin, but there's evidence to support human remains there at one time,” the San Luis Obispo county sheriff, Ian Parkinson, said at a news conference.

I do not see presently -- at least up to six weeks -- a supply shortfall. Beyond that, based on what we're hearing from the industry and what we've observed, the pricing will move molecules to California, but it will come at a price.

In June 2017, with President Trump newly installed in office, one of the biggest battles was about oil, particularly with Exxon Mobil and its climate change deception.

Elaine Alaniz serves as president of the Westlake North Neighborhood Council and has experience as a public affairs specialist for the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience. She emphasizes that government often fails to serve people in need.

The Gold Pass is unmatched in terms of the access it provides all season long. It truly is the ultimate ski pass.

You have to activate it AND move the funds off of it before the deadline. ANY funds remaining on a Middle Class Tax Refund debit card - activated or not - will disappear at the deadline.

California's architecture mirrors its terrain: Diverse, dramatic, and as varied as the shift from towering ocean cliffs to arid inland valleys. Western design hinges on expansive potential, marrying seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, framing views of sun and sea, and creating a minimalist aesthetic that puts dense tropical settings or desert landscapes centerstage.

To build a home at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains is to negotiate a paradox: the natural beauty demands attention while the wind and unforgiving California sun require refuge.
