Bio
With over 50 beehives in neighborhoods across the city, Chicago Honey Co-op's urban-dwelling bees visit a huge selection of flower species, and the diversity of their highly-concentrated nectars results in high-quality, intensely-flavored honey.
Along with its commitment to sustainable agriculture, the co-op teaches beekeeping and operates a job training program to promote beekeeping and related skills. As a partner in the preSERVE Garden, the Chicago Honey Co-op plays an integral role in transforming vacant land into productive community spaces where neighbors can learn to grow their own food.
