2022 ABC Bursary

The Alberta Beekeepers Commission is pleased to announce the launch of the 2022 ABC bursary fund. Over the past four year’s, the ABC has contributed over $10,000 towards supporting the education and skills development of 11 Alberta individuals who are actively involved in beekeeping or pursuing a career in an area that impacts beekeeping.

Building on our commitment to supporting the advancement of the Alberta beekeeping industry, we’re pleased to announce the launch of the 2022 bursary fund, offering individuals in the beekeeping industry and to those who support the beekeeping industry an opportunity to secure one of three $1000 bursaries.

The ABC Bursary is open to Alberta residents who are actively involved in beekeeping, intend to pursue a future in beekeeping or intend to pursue a career in an area that may impact beekeeping (e.g. pathology, research or agronomy).

Preference will be given to family members of ABC Eligible Producers and to those intending to pursue a career in commercial beekeeping or beekeeping research. For further information and to apply, please visit: https://www.albertabeekeepers.ca/communityresources/2022-abc-bursary/
