Scholarships Available: For folks who want to take a course but don't feel they can afford it, a very limited number of scholarships are available thanks to the generosity of the Honeydrop Beverage company of Brooklyn, NY. The scholarship covers 50% of the tuition fee. To apply for a scholarship, just send a letter or email explaining your interest in beekeeping and why you feel you deserve to receive a scholarship rather than someone else. Deadline for applications is March 4, 2012. dancingbeegardens.com
