Here are three of the top stories in San Diego today:

1. The two sides continue to talk, but workers at Ralphs and Vons/Pavilions/Albertsons have already voted to strike if necessary. "We are back at the table today and we'd like to complete a deal as soon as possible," John Votava, director of corporate affairs for Ralphs, told City News Service. "Through the past two years of the pandemic, it was the hard work and sacrifice of our members that helped these ... companies earn billions in profits," according to a union statement. "As we continue at the bargaining table, all of our Local Unions are committed to getting a contract that reflects everything these essential grocery workers have contributed to their employers, their customers, and their communities."

3. Their wings make a constant buzz. They are the bees of San Diego. Did you know that there are 30,000 beehives in the County? It is the job of commercial beekeepers to move the beehives seven days a week, 10 to 12 hours per day, year-round. They fix the hives and take out the honey. Their business keeps them moving to different places in different months. To learn more: Click into Parenthesis, then click the link. (San Diego Reader)
