Bike a Bee Fundraiser -- This Friday the 26th!

Bike a Bee places honeybee hives with community gardens and urban farms all over chicago and visits them by bicycle. We haul all of our empty hive equipment and even live bees by bicycle. 

Last year we had a kickstarter that helped us cover the cost of equipment, but this year we don't have much. SO we're having a fundraiser!

Honey-inspired Bake Sale!  Booze!  Silent Auction!  Beer!

It's going to be at 3624 W Wrightwood. our friends Roadiecab will be providing ride specials to and from the blue line as well as to other logan square destinations. 

Donors include: Longman and Eagle, Sparrow, The Dill Pickle Co-op, The Music Box Theater, Tres Jolie Pastry, Letherbee Gin plus many many more!

Help support Chicago honeybees and bicycle-powered businesses. Come and have fun, tell your friends on Facebook!

This sounds like an interesting evening and a good cause.  I think that is a Critical Mass night. Maybe a visit after? You should get this listed on the calender too.

Will there be any honey?  I bought ten pounds just before the farmer's market is Daley Plaza closed for the winter and I'm nearly out.

That would be great! We'll be going on until midnight, though the silent auction closes at 10pm! I'll add it to the calendar, too.

Because of the drought last year I was unable to take a honey harvest. Any honey the bees made I left with the hive so that they could have something to eat over the winter. This summer we'll have honey to sell, though!

Unfortunately, it looks like the Mass is going south to Hyde Park, so this might be a bit out of the way.
