The agency is the North Lawndale Employment Network headed by Brenda
Palms Barber (a wonderful woman). You can find them at
http://www.nlen.org on the web. The company is called SweetBeginnings
and sells honey and cosmetics made from hive products. This was
supported by several members of the Illinois State Beekeepers
Association. You can read about them through their website.
