The Wisconsin Honey Producers Association is sponsoring a Youth Beekeeper Scholarship Program this year.
Scholars will be awarded a two-year scholarship to a complete 10-frame hive kit, bee suit, gloves, smoker, hive tool, bee brush, and either a three pound package or a nucleus colony of live honey bees.
This is a two-year beekeeping program designed for youth ages 12-18 years old.
The purpose of the WHPA Youth Scholarship Program is to provide a hands-on educational opportunity for youth to learn the art of beekeeping and the importance of honey bees, as well as create opportunity for youth to experience the responsibility and enjoyment that comes with apiary management.
Applications must be postmarked by October 1. For more information, call 262-215-2791.
