Meet Your Beekeepers
Mother/daughter team, Marni and Lori Harris tend 16 local honeybee hives. They manage Flow Hives, a horizontal hive, and the now-famous Lego beehives originally built by the 4 to 6-year-olds in Lori’s nature class. Their hives are located on rooftops and properties in the region including Countryside, LaGrange Park, LaGrange, Western Springs, Lombard and Princeton. Fans of their Wild Flower Honey brand eagerly await the honor-system honey cabinet that Marni and Lori stock outside their Western Springs home each September. Watch the Salt Creek Butterfly Farm Facebook page for honey sale dates.
Lori runs a very active Family Beekeeping Club and an Extreme Monarch Club during the growing season. Marni is a full-time pediatric optometrist who enjoys working with honeybees and children in her downtime.
