City Rooftop Honey goes for
$15 at the city's Union Square
farm market. The Chicago
Honey Co-op ships honey and
beeswax products packaged
with panache.
City honey finds a
sympathetic market. There's
the incongruity: City bees
produce quality honey,
foraging empty lots, flower
boxes, even cut flowers --
within a couple of miles of
their urban base. Also, urban
beekeepers tend to be
eloquent spokespeople for
the embattled honeybee and
its role in nature's balance.
Christina Neumann owns Apoidea,
a small urban apiary.
The swank honey these days is harvested
from city hives atop buildings in Manhattan's
East Village and Chicago's West Side.
