Share

Amid increasing enrollment and state budget cuts, UC tuition hikes are on the table, ABC7 reported.

UC undergraduate students currently pay approximately $12,000 for basic tuition. Beginning in the 2015-2016 academic year, tuition under the proposed plan could get as high as $22,000, which doesn’t account for room, board or campus fees.

The bees-knees of Silver Lake

Russell Bates and Amy Seidenwurm took it up the hobby of chemical-free beekeeping in their Silver Lake backyard, Laist.com reported.

By the time they amassed 60 pounds of honey from their backyard, the pair decided to share their sweet hobby with locals, including bars, cafes and restauranteurs.

Their product, Feral Honey, can be found at Village Baker & Cafe in Atwater Village, on the cheese plate at Bar Covell in Los Feliz and in cocktails at Barbrix in Silver Lake.
