About Sweet Comb Chicago

You may be wondering the reason for the name of this company. Well, As I began reading about the plight of honey bees and Colony Collapse Disorder, I wondered what I could do. Beekeeping is something I always wanted to do but, like many, I felt keeping bees in the city just didn’t make sense. There are many things in the world I cannot change but this is a problem I could actually do something about. Our Mission The idea behind our apiary is simply to help the bees by providing them with a diverse range of nectar away from the mono cultures created by big industry. We have been continuously amazed and have grown smitten with the bees as we watch them go about their daily business right in our own backyard. Chicago is one of the few places where the number of honey bees seems to be increasing slightly – thanks to backyard and roof top beekeepers. With you​r support, we’d like to do our part to ensure this trend continues, so please do your best to support local beekeepers.Read their story
