BeeBC
The provincial government wants to put the ‘Bee’ back in BC, offering $100,000 in funding this year for projects aimed at preserving a healthy bee population in British Columbia.
The BC Bee Program is providing up to $5,000 of grant funding per project and it is expected that participants will contribute a minimum of 20 percent towards the total cost of the project, whether in cash or through an in-kind contribution.
The four-year, $400,000 provincial program is intended to support small scale regional/community-based projects to research, explore, field-test and share information about best management practices associated with bee health in British Columbia.
For this intake, program funding is available to successful applicants from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022. Interested parties can apply at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/agriculture-seafood/programs/bee-bc
