WHO WE ARE

Southport Corridor Bees is an urban beekeeping project with hives visible to the community in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. Founded in 2019 our ambitions are to place honeybee hives in community gardens, schools, urban farms, and other shared, visible spaces. We believe keeping honeybees where people can see them, introduces the community to an understanding of insects that is often lacking. You can find the Southport Corridor Bees hard at work pollinating within a few blocks of the hive and as far as 5 miles away. Slow down, look at the flowers, visit the apiary and watch the bees as they work.
