In the last few years urban beekeeping has been rising in popularity and popping up in the most unlikely of places, even in a field at O’Hare Airport. Marcin Matelski, Head Beekeeper at the Garfield Park Conservatory, gave a lecture on the “why” and “how” of beekeeping on March 17th. Watch the taped lecture below:
