The Whole Kids Foundation Bee Grant program allows for schools and nonprofits to receive support for educational honey beehives. This support is provided in one of three ways: a monetary grant of $1,500, an equipment grant of a custom-made indoor observation hive from The Bee Cause Project or an equipment grant of an outdoor hive with starter kit from Bee Thinking. Equipment grants also include monies to cover the first year of expenses. All grant recipients receive a consultation on safety and use of the hive from The Bee Cause Project and each recipient must have a ‘bee mentor,’ or a certified beekeeper that provides quarterly checkups on the hive.
