A job training program in North Lawndale is using beekeeping to change lives on the West Side
The North Lawndale Employment Network provides community members with financial and job-readiness programming. The beelove café is the non-profit's newest enterprise which offers job opportunities while proving raw natural honey treats to customers.
NLEN created its first social enterprise, Sweet Beginnings, in 2005 which aims to promote job readiness and training. The beelove café came after. FOX 32's Roseanne Tellez visited their beehives and the beelove café on South Homan Avenue and found some very busy bees at work packaging products from honey to body lotions, lip balms and candles. Money from sales goes back into the training program.
