Beekeeper Michael Thompson of Chicago Honey Co-op will be giving a free lecture on urban beekeeping tomorrow night at the Cultural Center (6pm). The event is sponsored by Slow Food Chicago. If you're looking to pick up some honey and honey-made products made by the Co-op, their wares are sold in a few different places.
