Through support from AgriFutures Australia capacity building grants, AHBIC invites applications to the 2026 Honeybee Industry Conference Bursary Opportunity.

We are looking to award 4 beekeepers and 4 researchers the chance to receive up to $1,000 bursary to attend a 2026 State Beekeeping Conference.

We want emerging beekeepers and researchers — especially those who wouldn’t be able to attend without financial help. 

To be eligible, applicants should be:

• In the early stages of their career with 2-5yrs of experience in the beekeeping or related industry
• Have practical experience with or a passion for European honey bees and
• A passion to remain part of the industry as their career progresses.

This bursary serves as a gateway for individuals to establish a solid foundation in the honey bee industry.

Applications close Wednesday 6th May 5pm AEST ! So get in quick.
