Beekeeping Offers a Sweet Future for Former Inmates
An excerpt -
In Illinois, however, some former inmates are finding the support they need to successfully start over in the form of an unlikely ally: The honey bee.
For the past decade, Chicago-based Sweet Beginnings has been providing full time transitional jobs, as well as a sense of community, for people reentering society following time spent in prison. The company, which cultivates, makes, and sells upscale honey and honey-based skincare products, turned its first profit this year, and has grown its operation to accommodate forty employees annually, reports The Guardian.
