Observation hive grant
We are working with our partner to get a grant for an observation hive on La Gonave. This hive is being supplied by thebeecause.org. This not-for-profit also put hives in the Bahamas, however this grant is only for an observation hive.
The grant is a $1,500 project for a custom made observation hive. It comes with a feeder and hive cover. In addition a $150 monetary grant will be supplied to cover incidentals for the first year, which can be used for purchasing bees. The grant also allows for partnership and consultation.
If awarded, this hive will be put into either a school or community center with the not-for-profit that we are working with. This will not only teach school kids, but also will be used to teach new beekeepers.
Not to be confused with the observation hives that we are putting on La Gonave, this hive will add to the programs that are being setup for La Gonave.
The observation hives we are putting on La Gonave will not be custom designed, but will be made using simple and inexpensive methods. This will allow future beekeepers a way of understanding how to build these systems.
None of the observation hives will be used for honey production.
Go Gonave!
