Vallejo Breakers, Vallejo After Dark, Benicia Waterfront, Fairfield Pumpkin Blossom and San Francisco Potrero Hill are not names of local foot races. They're a few of the "vintages" of honey produced by Vallejo-based Bay Area Bee Co.
The brainchild of Lithuanian transplant and newlywed Rokas Armonas, Bay Area Bee Co. has some 10 hives in backyards around the Bay Area, including his own. Armonas said he hopes to increase that number and expand into Oakland/Berkeley and Marin.
"If they agree to have the bees, they get honey for free," he said.
