Bee Grant 2027
All Information
The Bee Grant supports educational programmes that introduce students to honeybees and pollinators through hands-on learning. Schools and eligible nonprofit organisations can apply for financial assistance or specialised observation-hive equipment. The programme also provides educational curricula, lesson plans and other resources to help educators teach conservation, environmental stewardship and science. The traditional grant is for new applicants starting or enhancing a school-based bee programme, while the renewal grant is restricted to previous recipients who meet the programme's renewal conditions.
