Man learns casino losses not deductible
CHICAGO, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Officials with the Marriott in downtown Chicago said the hotel is using honey from its rooftop bees to make beer and several dishes.
The Italian five-striped honeybees, which have created 260 pounds of honey since they arrived at the hotel in March, have contributed their product to the Marriott's in-house draft wheat beer and several dishes designed by the hotel's chefs, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday.
Executive chef Myk Banas said the hotel spent about $2,500 on the bees, three insulated hives, bee protective gear, honey extracting equipment and other expenses related to the rooftop hives.
"We always look to do crazy ideas here," executive sous chef Joe Plucinski said.
