2022 WHPA Youth Scholarship Program

Congrats Florence Becker on winning the Wisconsin Honey Producers Association Youth Beekeeping

Florence has been awarded a 2-year scholarship including a complete 10-frame hive kit, bee suit, gloves, smoker, hive tool, bee brush, and either a 3lb. package or a nucleus colony of live honey bees. 

This is a two-year beekeeping program designed for youth ages 12-18 years old.


Purpose of the WHPA Youth Scholarship Program 

  • To provide a hands-on educational opportunity for youth to learn the art of beekeeping and the importance of honey bees. 
  • To provide an opportunity for youth to experience the responsibility and enjoyment that comes with apiary management. 
  • To provide an opportunity for youth to engage in beekeeping from a vocational standpoint, with the potential for beekeeping to become a side-line or full-time vocation.
