The Honey Bee Project, one component of the South Carolina 4-H Pollinator Program, is an independent-study project that engages youth (ages 5-18 years) in the active role of beekeeping, learning the basics of entomology, and gaining an appreciation for the role of pollinators in our world. Youth will be provided with a project record book and project-related educational materials (not bees or beekeeping equipment). 

Registraton Deadline is Friday, February 1, 2019.

Youth will:

• Set goals and plan activities and strategies to achieve those outcomes, even in the face of challenges.

• Reflect on their yearly work by documenting their skill development and learning experiences.

• Give back to their communities through educational and service activities.

• Learn valuable skills in record keeping, financial management, and communication.

• Become good stewards of the environment and gain technical expertise that can promote beneficial practices.
