Please join the Bee Squad and the rest of Goose Island at the J Parker for a celebration of this limited release.

100% of the ticket sales will benefit The Chicago Honey Co-op Training Center.

The Chicago Honey Co-op Training Center was started as a way to expand the educational efforts begun by Chicago Honey Co-op. Beekeeping education and training have always been a part of what the Co-op is about but keeping bees and selling honey are full-time occupations. Starting an education focused partner non-profit was a way to bring their beekeeping knowledge to more people.
