Climate Central: Just when it seemed like California's drought couldn't get any worse, it did: A staggering one third of the state is now in the worst stage of drought. The latest update from the U.S. Drought Monitor, released Thursday, showed the amount of the state in "Exceptional Drought' -- the highest category -- expanding to about 33 percent from 25 percent.

KQED: These are hard times for honeybees; colonies are collapsing for reasons ranging from pesticides to parasites.

Second-generation beekeeper David Bradshaw pulls his truck up alongside wooden boxes of beehives on a farm outside the Central Valley town of Visalia.

National Geographic: Photographer Matt Black isn't just covering a story when he's capturing the lives and landscapes of California's historic drought. He's showing us how modern farming and natural forces are irrevocably altering his own childhood home. Black grew up just outside Visalia in California's Central Valley, the rural agricultural area that is the increasingly dry heart of not just California, but also the nation's productive farmland. Back then, the region was rich in water resources for farming. "When...
