Please note that established beekeepers, as well as new beekeepers, must reside in a tobacco-dependent county within the Southwest Region to be eligible for participation.
Southwest Virginia Tobacco Region: Bland, Buchanan, Carroll, Dickenson, Floyd, Grayson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, Wise, and Wythe Beginning beekeepers may make application beginning February 15, 2010 and established beekeepers may make application beginning March 15, 2010; one application per family.

All application forms shall be mailed to: SW VA AG AssociationAttn: Charlie Atkins121 Bagley Circle Suite 434Marion, VA 24354 ASSISTANCE FOR ESTABLISHED/BEGINNING BEEKEEPPERS
In an effort to offset recent/recurring losses to area beekeepers, a portion of grant funding will be utilized as cost-share incentives for established beekeepers. Established beekeepers (those with active hives at present) within tobacco-dependent counties are eligible for cost-share assistance that may be utilized toward the purchase of replacement bees and/or colony management costs. Although funding is limited, efforts have been made to equitably distribute available monies based on the USDA 2007 Census—Colony of bees and honey collected by county. To be eligible for participation, established beekeepers must reside within a tobacco-dependent county and must currently have active hives. Eligible established beekeepers may receive cost-share funding on a 50:50 basis, beginning beekeepers on a 75:25 basis (beginners 25%), not to exceed the maximum amount of $550.00 per beekeeper. As part of the application process, established beekeepers are required to complete the “Hive Inventory” questionnaire. This form must complete and submitted with the initial application; without a completed questionnaire, any application will be deemed incomplete and therefore ineligible for cost-share funding.
Cost-share funding will be distributed on a “reimbursement” basis: after approval of the initial application for funding, beekeepers secure necessary items, and present a “paid” receipt dated after application approval. No exceptions to this rule will be granted. Eligible expenditures for established and beginning beekeepers include:
Woodenware
Frames/foundation
Medications (fumagilin, terramycin, etc.)
Food supplements (pollen patties, essential oils, etc)
Queens
Packages/nucs
Protective clothing
Bee keeping equipment
Sucrose/HFCS
