It's time for the Oregon Honey Festivalonce again, but not all the discussion is sweetness and light. 

After all, bees face a number of challenges, including from the continued broad use of pesticides. 

Marie Simmons, considered a honey taste expert, will be a speaker at the festival. 

She will be our guest in a preview of the October 17th festival.
