I have also been working with local beekeepers to help me understand their important role in pollination and agriculture. This past summer, I joined forces with a local digital marketing group called, Arcane and have been working closely with CEO Eric Vardon on our sustainable rooftop apiary.
London is now considered a “bee city” with our urban beehives located on the roof of Arcane. Our main mission is to help pollinate our downtown core and rooftop garden; in turn, producing real urban honey for Arcane employees coffee stations in the meantime. We are looking forward to expanding our knowledge of the honey bee and other pollinators, and can’t wait to see who else joins the efforts for Ontario honey bee awareness.
One of my favourite parts about cooking here in Ontario is the four seasons that directly reflect my cooking style each month. Even in the late winter months, there are still farmers producing excellent products.
