What We Do


Classroom Visits 

 

We bring beekeeping programs to  neighborhood schools and to community groups. Our observation hive is always a hit and offers many opportunities for learning about honeybees.

Education Partnerships

 

We partner with non-profits to bring honeybee and pollinator education to their locations and members.

Equipment Donation Program

 

It can be expensive to start beekeeping. We solicit donations of beekeeping equipment for newly trained beekeepers who want to keep bees but can't afford the cost of a hive and bees.

Beekeeping Classes

 

We offer scholarships to the beekeeping classes we give with Chicago Honey Co-op, for new beekeepers without the means to pay the fee.
