Kamal Bell, of Sankofa Farms in Cedar Grove (just north of Hillsborough) is a certified beekeeper, but his "claim to fame" is engaging youth in beekeeping and agricultural practices with the goal to create a sustainable food source for minorities in both rural and urban communities in Durham and Orange Counties.
