Honey Bee Grants.......?

[Cossack]

      I have done a little research on the internet, looking for Grants or programs for honey bees and have not found anything. Has anyone else had any luck or enrolled in any programs to help out with the survival of our bees?

....Agricultural programs???????

Any suggestions or comments,   Thanks in advance.

also check with your state.  a lot of federal pork...sorry....spending...is given to states for agricultural programs, etc.  you may have a state grant that you can apply for.

There where two grants given out in Michigan that I know of, one was for 5000.00 to see if a center hive opening would reduce varoa mites. It was a research grant.
There was also somwone that made an electrical mite control device. looked like a frame that was wired to a dc charge, it fried the mites. Says that it seemed to work. However no information given if the bees were fried as well??? But thats two that I saw.

you have to prove and then reprove you are doing something good for the beekeeping industry.
