Here's a picture of sweet success: learn how a small Chicago apiary transformed an unused block in North Lawndale into a successful, honey-producing community space. For the Lurie Garden lecture program, Michael Thompson, Director of the Chicago Bee Co-op, describes how he and his colleagues built their chemical-free bee farm and launched a small business that emphasizes vocational training and sustainable agricultural practices. If you're bracing yourself for the end of this year's Farmers Markets, you can get your honey fix from a few of the Co-op's on-sale honey and beeswax products.
