The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees is a charitable research and education foundation organized with a mission of preserving and protecting honey bees to ensure a quality food supply and environment.
The Foundation has provided scholarships of $2000 each to five graduate students in apiculture to foster professional development for young apicultural scientists each year since 2004.
The purpose of the scholarships is to allow the recipients to attend the annual North American Beekeeping Conference, where they will have an opportunity to meet other researchers and beekeepers and to present their research at the industry. The Foundation Board of Trustees looks forward to their contributions to the conferences, which are held in early January.
The scholarships are available to all graduate students. Graduate students at universities outside the U.S. are invited to apply.
The annual announcement is made in the late summer and circulated via various email lists. To be included on the announcement list, send an email to:
