Bee farmers seem to be busy as their bees these days, setting up beehives on hotel rooftops and, now, at some U.S. airports.
A growing number of Fairmont Hotels in North America, including the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto and the Fairmont Vancouver Airport have their own hives and honey-producing bees.
Close to a dozen airports in Germany host bee hives and monitor them for signs of pollution caused by air traffic.
Now comes word that Chicago’s O’Hare Airport is hosting 33 hives belonging to Sweet Beginnings, a non-profit group that helps ex-offenders and others find permanent jobs.
The group hopes to set up hives next at Midway Airport and eventually sell the airport-made honey at shops inside the airport.
Sweet!
