The National Beekeepers Cooperative Society Ltd. announces the opening of applications for Volume 2 of its highly successful Mentorship Programme, which aims to elevate the skills and competencies of dedicated beekeepers.
Following the success of the inaugural programme last year, which concludes in September 2024, the National Beekeepers Cooperative Society Ltd. is eager to continue fostering growth within our community.
In the first year, five committed beekeepers participated and will receive four (4) nucs, valued at $2,600, in October 2024. The transformative experiences and knowledge gained during this programme, prompted the Cooperative to launch a second year, providing even more opportunities for participants to thrive.
This year-long initiative pairs beekeepers with at least two years of experience with seasoned mentors who will guide them through advanced techniques and innovative practices. Successful participants who complete at least 80% of the course requirements will benefit from immense knowledge and receive three (3) nucs at a subsidized cost of only $650, with a total program value of $19,400.
“We are thrilled to expand this mentorship programme after its successful launch last year,” said Mr. Kevin James, President of the National Beekeepers Cooperative Society Limited. “It’s a testament to our commitment to building a stronger beekeeping community through knowledge sharing and mentorship.”
Interested beekeepers are invited to complete a brief application form available on the National Beekeepers Cooperative Society Limited’s Facebook page. This process will provide an understanding of the applicant’s background and aspirations, ensuring a well-matched mentorship experience. Please note that this programme is exclusively available to members of the National Beekeepers Cooperative. If you are not yet a member, we encourage you to join and participate in this invaluable opportunity.
