Bike a Bee is an urban beekeeping project with hives spread out in 8 communities around Chicago that aim to naturalize human and bees coexisting in the same urban space by having hives near shared visible spaces.
Given a global issue and a product aiming to solve it to, the objective of this project was to create a small store to promote the Bike a Bee brand and communicate their issue behind selling honey.
