Honey Harvest at the Fairmont Hotel

Last week I had the pleasure of witnessing the Fairmont Hotel harvest honey for the first time. Ian Bens, the Executive Sous Chef, worked with local bee keeper, Toni Burnham, to harvest the honey. I am looking forward to seeing the dishes in which the honey will be used.

Fairmont Hotel Honey Bees

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to work with Chef Aron Weber and Chef Ian Bens, of the Fairmont Hotel. As part of my thesis on sustainability, I will be looking at how these chefs are raising bees on the roof and using their honey in hotel dishes.
