All the BUZZZ around Barrington!
In North Barrington, just six miles as the crow—or, as it were, the bee—flies, is Honey Lake Bee Company, where Chef Glenn procures raw, natural honey for The Garlands kitchens and teas.
Beekeepers Karen and Brian Thomson, both horticulture graduates of Iowa State University, manage over 140 hives. The Thomsons sell natural honey, honeycomb, 100 percent pure beeswax candles, lip balms, and bee byproducts online and at local farmers’ markets.
Karen and Brian pride themselves on producing bee-based products that are pure and natural. They also share their knowledge by teaching the craft to local “beekeeper-wanna-bes” who swarm to their beginning beekeeping classes!
