Sweet Beginnings - an apiary at O'Hare

Sweet Beginnings, LLC

Mission:  Sweet Beginnings, LLC, train men and women to become beekeepers to manage the hives placed at various locations around Chicago.  They make the beelove® family of products — an all natural line of raw honey and honey-infused body care products.  They manage the hives and extract honey from urban apiaries in the heart of the North Lawndale community in Chicago. Sweet Beginnings also manages an apiary at O’Hare.  The honey is known for its complex flavor, a result of the varied flora of our urban environment.  The beelove® skin care products are of exceptional quality and are all unique in their use of natural honey as a moisturizer.  The natural, high quality products are produced by men and women returning from incarceration. At Sweet Beginnings, these talented men and women develop a stable work history, learn marketable skills and gain the confidence they need to re-enter the workforce.

Speaker:  The Chief Operating Officer, Bob Miller, has indicated an interest in speaking to our Club.
