HIGH atop the roof of the Marriott Hotel on the Miracle Mile in downtown Chicago agriculture is at work.
Three bee hives are thriving in their untraditional home and the honey produced is being used in the hotel's bakery goods and signature beer.
Feedstuffs FoodLink and farmer/rancher Trent Loos recently visited with the hotel's executive chef about the bees and other things he and his staff is doing to provide more local flavor for hotel guests.
