Helping Rural Families and Students Bee-come Successful Honey Producers

 At Rural Charge, we are passionate about supporting rural families and students. One of the ways we do this is by providing technical assistance in the process of honey making and sustainable practices of beekeeping, or apiculture.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy and satisfaction of beekeeping, while also contributing to a healthier environment. Our program helps families and students get started on their beekeeping journey, from building their first hive to producing their first batch of honey.

The Secret Ingredient: Our Dedicated Volunteers

The cornerstone of our program's success is our incredible team of volunteers. These experienced beekeepers share their vast knowledge and expertise, providing technical assistance on everything from hive management and honey production to selecting the perfect location for your apiary.

With their guidance, our participants learn the essential skills for keeping their hives healthy and thriving. This includes:

  • Building beehives
  • Providing essential nutrients to keep the hive strong
  • Selecting the right location for optimal honey production

A Positive Impact on Our Environment and Our Communities

Beekeeping is not just about producing delicious honey. Honeybees play a vital role in our ecosystem by pollinating plants, which helps to ensure the health and productivity of our agricultural crops. By supporting beekeeping, we are not only helping families and students thrive, but we are also contributing to a more sustainable future.
