now at 11:00, the biggest buzz kill for an east bay beekeeper. >> i couldn't believe somebody would take bees. >> she felt the sting when the burglars swarmed her hives and stole thousands of bees. tonight we hear from the man known as the bee detective. >> technically it could be a felony to steal a single bee. >> what he says about hive heists that might surprise you. no, we missed it. >> and that isn't a commuter upset they will be late to work. >> we had to step out of the train at some of them and run out on to the platform and grab a photo really quick. >> these guys are racing through b.a.r.t. stations on a high speed mission to break a world record. plus, a billion dollar
1:39 am
lotto jackpot was basically heaven sent for a man who has spent years fighting for his life. >> i thought, you don't have to go up now. from kpix,s in the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> and good evening, i'm juliette goodrich in for sara tonight. we hear about people swiping everything from lawn furniture to tools and decorations from people's homes, well now apparent they includes bees. in the oakland hill, one beekeeper felt a sting in her heart when someone snatched up her bee colony. and our lauren toms didn't just meet that beekeeper, she spoke to a man who tracks down bee bandits for a living. >> reporter: sue donahue just wanted to educate her community on the importance of honeybee, but her plans to hold a honey tasting for her neighborhood took a stinging turn when
1:40 am
thieves drove off with one of her hives. >> i heard somebody say, oh, hey, freebies. and then a moment passed and i heard a car door close. >> reporter: 30,000 bees and their queen in one colony suddenly vanished just after 10:00 in the morning. she says it was a crime of opportunity in her north oakland neighborhood that has become all too accustomed to petty crimes. >> there's a permission structure that you can take what you want, there's no consequence. whether you need it or not, it's just for the sake of taking it. because those bees are going to start to die starting probably today. there's no consequences for their behavior. >> reporter: but a crime with this kind of buzz doesn't go unnoticed. rowdy freeman has been tracking bee theft for the state of california for over a decade and stealing a hive or even just one bee is a felony.
1:41 am
>> here in california so far there has been over 3,000 hives stolen throughout the state, and you know, that has a great impact on the global economy and our food supply. and since they are livestock, it's a felony to steal a single beehive. >> reporter: freeman says it is possible for the bees or hive structure to be recovered but for sue it's not only a loss for her bees but a lost opportunity for the children who live in her neighborhood. >> the kids started coming like ten minutes later to the honey stand and i could see their faces like looking for where are the bees. and then when they asked me, where are the bee, i had to tell them they were taken. and the bewilderment on their face, that was really heartbreaking to me that i'm teaching them about theft and not about, you know, where their food comes from. >> reporter: that theft, she says, is just one example of
1:42 am
the uptick in crimes oakland has seen without an end in sight. >> it's not a one off. this happens all the time. there's no consequence and there's not a huge or big enough police presence to be a visual deterrent. and even if they were caught, i don't know that much happens. >> reporter: but in the end, she says a couple of bee burglars won't stop her from hosting her honey tastings. >> all right, as you can imagine, this story didn't come without its risks. in fact, our photographer should probably get hazard pay after getting stung by a bee while shooting the story. so take a look at this. the bee got him right on top of his head. it actually happened after he put on this protective gear to climb up on the roof and get some video of the bees. greg tells us when he was taking it off, a bee snuck in and stung him. well, susan says she thinks it happened because the bees are sad that they lost their queen and hive. the sting was treated with a home remedy
1:43 am
of baking soda and water. and we saw greg in the newsroom, and he is doing just fine tonight. a student-led protest against the war in gaza has doubled the size at uc berkeley. it's one of many protests not only here in the bay but across the nation. so san francisco state university is the latest bay area school where tents have sprouted up, and it's not just students taking part. as our john ramos shows us, the faculty are protesting alongside them. -- to fund this genocide. >> welcome, everybody, to the sf state rally for solidarity with gaza. >> reporter: the crowd of students jammed malcolm x plaza at the noontime rally. san francisco state was about to become the latest american university to establish a live-in protest over the conflict between israel and the palestinians. >> free, free palestine. >> free, free palestine. >> reporter: the student demands are now familiar,
1:44 am
divest from israel's military, cut ties with its universities, and recognize the action in gaza as genocide. and in the crowd was political science professor james martel. he's part of a newly formed group called faculty for justice in palestine, lending support to the student movement. >> it's beautiful. i love seeing all the students and the faculty, we're all united. we've been organizing for a long time together. >> reporter: on sunday, the faculty group sent a letter to the administration requesting that they take no action to hamper the on-campus protest. they're asking that they refrain from dispatching police to student demonstrations, refrain from academic retaliation against student, and respect their right to protest on campus. still, professor martel isn't convinced that things will stay peaceful. >> the tradition of -- at this university is to have cops come and destroy everything and arrest everyone. so if they keep up that tradition, we're in trouble. but i hope that doesn't happen. >> reporter: that tradition dates back to 1968 when police engaged in a bloody clash with
1:45 am
students protesting the school's treatment of people of color. the incident became a national embarrassment and led to reforms by the university, including the establishment of the nation's first college of ethnic studies. another member of today's faculty group, professor omar, says he hopes it wouldn't happen again, although the images from campuses around the country do feel like what happened before. >> in this specific moment as we're seeing the examples of countless universities that have resorted to such blatant forms of oppression, we felt essentially better safe than sorry, come together proactively and say we are asking this not happen and we're here to support. >> reporter: when the rally ended, the protesters began assembling their tents surrounded by a protective line of students standing in hand in hand. they seem convinced that there will be an effort to force the students out. professor martel said he'd like to believe that it won't happen. >> but i think that it's nonetheless kind of part of the tradition of how the left gets dealt with is to bring in the
1:46 am
cops. >> reporter: college campuses have always been a crucible for social change. the question for san francisco state is whether it will be a place where history is learned or simply repeated. >> so the student union at san francisco state has also been giving out free advice on how to protest safely and what to do if you are arrested. all right, paul, it's still a little windy tonight, but the skies are clear, sun kind of shining all day. we are expecting things to get a little more overcast in the next few day, huh? >> no, we're actually going to see a clear pattern and then rain chances returning into the weekend. but right now, crystal clear skies from the mark hopkins hotel. no fog, which is by itself a little bit unnushl late april and eventually early may because things above our heads in the upper levels of the atmosphere have shifted. last week had a parade of upper-level storm systems. that's shifted to the north and taking its place a hill of air in the atmosphere. it's over the pacific but close enough it's going to be influencing our weather which
1:47 am
leads to warmer temperatures. it also has an influence on how the fog behaves. its influence on the marine layer we can explain by comparing what happened last week to what's going to be happening over the next several days. last week with that parade of storm systems overhead, there was areas of low pressure which means less atmosphere over our heads. the atmosphere just weighed less so it was allowing the marine layer to expand vertically. all of the fog developing, more low cloud cover combined with fog at ground level. the marine layer was 3,000 feet deep last week. this week with that area of high pressure pressing down from above on us, it suppresses the depth of the marine layer and really keeps much fog at all from developing. really resists the development of any clouds, regardless of whether higher up in the atmosphere or at ground level. so the clear skies we had today, those are going to stick around a few more days, but farther down the line we have a rare early may rain chance headed our way. and of course, it's going to be for the weekend. details on that in a few minutes. >> that's the overcast, the foreshadowing. all right, thank
1:48 am
you, paul. well, these guys aren't racing to their b.a.r.t. trains because they are late to school or even work. they're actually on a high speed mission through bay area b.a.r.t. stations to earn a spot in the guinness book of world records. and this billion dollar lottery winner isn't just relishing in his win tonight to buy fancy cars and five-star dinners. >> and i've been thinking, oh, i'm happy for my family. they will have a good life. >> oh, he's going to use the money to help save his life.

if you are a regular b.a.r.t. rider, you probably have a good idea of how much time it takes to commute to work every day. give or take a few delays. well, imagine how long it would take to ride the entire b.a.r.t. system in one day stopping at every station on every line. sound fun? i don't know. but our itay hod met a group of uc berkeley students who were trying to do just that. it's actually turned into a fun social media challenge, and the students might actually make the record books. >> reporter: for a lot of commuter, getting on b.a.r.t. is a race against the clock. but for these berkeley transit students that daily rush became an actual race with a world record waiting for them at the finish line. >> the day of i think is just making sure all the trains are running on time. >> reporter: they're part of a group of five friends -- >> we are boarding now. >> reporter: -- who recently
1:52 am
embarked on a high speed mission to hit every single b.a.r.t. station along every line. >> all right. >> reporter: their goal to score a guinness world record for hitting all 50 stops in the shortest time possible. >> so we started near antioch. we're on e b.a.r.t. there, transfer to pittsburg bay point, then turn around, take the red line train all the way down to millbrae. and finally took the train down to berryessa/north san jose. >> all right, let's go. >> reporter: called speed running, the trend has become increasingly popular with people trying to conquer their transit systems in cities around the globe. >> i don't see it yet. >> reporter: there's no official guinness record for b.a.r.t. yet -- >> i'm going to go visit all 50 b.a.r.t. stations. >> reporter: -- and a last attempt by a local youtuber earlier this year put the unofficial record at five hours and 49 minutes, which is why these berkeley students decided to trade their textbooks for transit maps and after months
1:53 am
of planning they made a run for it. >> the most important thing was the day of making sure that with got all of the required proof throughout the trip. >> reporter: that meant livestreaming their entire trek, gathering signatures from witnesses, and taking photos of each station along the way. >> we had to, you know, step out of the train at some of them and run out into the platform, grab a photo really quick, and hop on before the doors closed again. >> reporter: it all nearly came to a screeching halt when a single missed connection almost cost them the title. >> no, we missed it. >> reporter: the drama of it all even caught the eye of b.a.r.t. officials. >> i happened to be just at home, and i just popped on. >> reporter: alicia is the chief communication officer at b.a.r.t. she says the moment she noticed the livestream, she had to give them a shout-out on social media. >> i right away messaged to them, you know, when you're done, first let's get you in front of our board of directors at a board meeting, and we're going to congratulate you.
1:54 am
>> go, go. >> clock, clock, clock. >> reporter: their final time, five hours and 47 minutes, beating the unofficial record by two minutes. >> we did it. >> sometimes you've just got to go out there and venture out, do like these things that are just outside of what you would typically do. that's what makes them fun, right? and that's kind of what life is about, right? >> reporter: it's a reminder, they say, that even when life goes off the rails -- >> i think that's it, guys. >> reporter: -- you can always get back on track. >> signing off. >> fascinating. the students are now waiting on guinness world records for certification, which actually could take a few months. they are all members of uc berkeley's transportation grads student organizing committee which covered their $28 per person train fare. all right, some sad news tonight for longtime reality tv fans, the first person to be voted off the island in the first ever season of survivor has died. we're talking about sonia christopher, who is from
1:55 am
walnut creek who was known for her ukulele skills and her spunk when she competed on survivor in 2000. >> thanks to prozac, bye, bye, blues. life isn't hell, but i'm swell. >> i'll fight to the finish, but i have my blisters and whatnot, but i'm doing okay. >> the tribe has spoken. >> the team did the right thing. they're a terrific group of people. they're very strong physically. >> oh, she was 87 years old when she died no. word yet on the cause. if you bought the powerball ticket you didn't win the latest billion dollar jackpot, but for the man who did, the prize was practically heaven sent. charlie bought a lotto ticket worth $1.3 billion in oregon. he has been living on disability fighting cancer for the last eight years. well, charlie was born in laos and lives in portland with his wife. they plan on spending the
1:56 am
money on their dream home and his battle against cancer. as ariel shows us, he isn't just strong, he's a firecracker. >> i found out i won, and then i was thinking, oh, i'm happy for my family. they will have a good life. >> reporter: holding a giant check, charlie waves while grinning ear to ear after winning the $1.3 billion powerball. >> we won the lottery. we won the jackpot. >> reporter: charlie isn't the only winner. he's splitting the prize with his wife and their friend who lives in milwaukee. neither wanting to be on camera. he recalls calling their friend with the big news. >> what are you doing now? she said i'm driving on the way to work. and i told her, you don't have to go to work now. >> reporter: charlie's a ray of light, even as he speaks about his eight-year battle
1:57 am
with cancer. >> in the middle of the battle with cancer, so i've been thinking, how am i going to have time to spend all of this money? >> reporter: he was born in laos, moving to thailand when he was 10 before finally settling down in portland 30 years ago. >> i love oregon. i've been here 30 years, so i love oregon. i'm not going to move out. i stay oregon here. >> reporter: proudly wearing a sash representing his people he giggles sharing how he told his family members. >> i tell my mom, mom, we are rich. she says rich? how rich? i said really rich. >> really, really, really rich. the two families are splitting the winnings in half, which the two families are splitting that, which after taxes is a little over $400 million. but isn't that a good problem to have? how do we spend all of this money. >> this much money.
1:58 am
>> i read an article where one person said winning the lottery is a curse, but for him i think it's a blessing. >> he seems to have both feet firmly on the ground. there's a documentary on one of the streaming services about all the problems winners have had. >> it's fascinating. >> terrifying a little bit. nothing scary in the weather. >> okay, thank you. >> because it's 2024, of course, there has to be a rain chance for the weekend. those are the rules. the temperatures are going to go up and down over the course of the next several day, but the weather looks nice as we finish the month of april. nice view as we look to the east over the bay bridge from salesforce tower. plenty of sunshine throughout the rest of the week after another day of near normal temperatures tomorrow, we're above normal beginning on wednesday and continuing thursday and friday. it's still going to be breezy and cool at the coast, so this is going to be a warming trend noticeable around the bay but really settles in farther inland. and then the weekend, cool and even wet. the can marks indicate our uncertainty about the exact specifics of that weather
1:59 am
pattern that shapes up this weekend but signs continue to point to a decent chance of early may showers. switching perspective, clear skies over the santa clara valley. looking good in san jose, where the temperature is 56 degrees. the middle ground of temperatures. anywhere from 52 in livermore to 58 degrees in concord. later on tonight those temperatures will drop down, as i mentioned earlier, we're not going to see fog to speak of tomorrow morning. temperatures start off about two to four degrees below normal, mostfully the 40s. despite that cool start the lack of fog means temperatures are going to warm up very quickly. up into the low 70s in the santa clara valley. and everyone's temperatures are within a degree or two of what's normal for this time of year. upper 60s for fremont and the peninsula and redwood city. upper 50s in half moon bay. hopefully the sunshine will make it feel warmer. in the mid to upper 60s for san francisco and oakland and temperatures in the north bay are also going to reach up into the low to mid-70s. so a typical end to the month of april but may, as
2:00 am
i mentioned, does begin on a warm note. here's the ten-day temperature outlook for san jose, and you see that spike in temperatures for wednesday into thursday and friday. highs in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees. it's going to be a mix of upper 70s and low 80s inland, but there's the drop that kicks in from friday to saturday and that big drop in temperatures accompanies our decent chance of rain showers. the rain chances, again, not etched in stone, they never are this time of year. looking like a better than a 50/50 chance for rain on -- went for it with the rainfall outlook for this weekend, calling for anywhere from less than 0.1 of an inch of rain to around 0.5 of an inch in the mountain ps higher elevations of the north bay as well. that's a very efficient rainmaker for this time of year. we'll see if signs
2:01 am
continue to point in that direction. this is the wettest scenario we would see. cut these numbers in half, and that's a nice amount of rain for the month of may. seven-day forecast does include the warm-up over the next several days. around 80 degrees a mix of upper 70s and low 60s for the end of the workweek. saturday looks like the wet exer cooler half of the weekend, but i wouldn't cancel any outdoor plans at this point. be flexible with outdoor plans as we head into the weekend, especially on saturday, which does look like the best rain chance we're going see. once the cool air settles in, even if the rain misses us, the cool air is going to get here. lingering into the first half of the first full week of may. so going to feel more like maybe late march or early april instead of early may. >> no kidding. >> eventually the weather will catch up with the calendar. >> well thank you for that. if you were renovating your home and saw this embedded in the tile, you might think a serial killer had livered there
