[Pollinator] Thankful!

[Klopchin,Jeanette L]

Greetings!



What are you thankful for this holiday season? Our Caribbean Bee College Partners are thankful for some generous donations that have allowed us to reduce the price of admission for this 2.5 day educational beekeeping training event, taking place on the beautiful island country of Grenada at St. Georges University.  We will be taking a tour of local apiaries, and have 2 full days of lectures and workshops for people of all skill levels. Plus, what an amazing venue to network with others in the beekeeping and agricultural sector! Don’t forget about the 13-class honey show.

                We have worked hard to keep registration and lodging costs low for the event. We truly hope that all parties interested in attending the CBC will be able to identify funding sources for their participation. We encourage bee clubs or governments on every island to consider sending a representative from their respective island to the CBC. We hope to register attendees from every island to make this a truly international event and facilitate our discussion on developing sustainable honey bee programs in the Caribbean.
Would you be willing to sponsor an individual from the Caribbean to come to the Caribbean Bee College? What amazing gift you could provide to a person in need of funding support. They will truly receive a direct benefit to their family and community with the skills they will learn at the CBC. Please email me today and I would be happy to facilitate a sponsorship!
