The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Monday, March 10, 2025.

In today’s episode:

Many of Chico’s yield signs will be converted to stop signs by April. This could create safer streets for travelers.

Also, bees pollinate orchard crops but there are fewer this year and that could be a problem for almond producers.

Plus, Chico Marketplace is accepting donations of formal wear for high school students.
