“I really look back to being a little kid and being really fascinated by insects. Every summer, I would raise monarch butterflies and I was fascinated with caterpillars and honeybees to a degree. In college, the economic collapse happened and I was getting more into organic foods and sustainable agriculture, and I was understanding that honeybees were hurting because of, most likely, unhealthy agricultural practices. The honeybee became this mascot of the system failing.” -Jana Kinsman, creator of Bike-a-Bee, an innovative new project that aims to expand urban beekeeping throughout Chicago.. on a bike!
