The North Dakota Department of Agriculture’s Apiary Division has provided PAm with $50,000 to be used for honeybee research.  PAm will be entrusted with finding the appropriate projects to be funded, as well as being responsible for the proposed projects.  The funding includes $37,500 from the ND Department of Ag – Apiary Division under the direction of Judy Carlson.  Christi Heintz and Meg Ribotto, along with PAm Board members, Zac Browning and John Miller, met with Judy Carlson in August about bee research priorities.  The additional funding, $12,500, is from the ND Honey Promotion Fund.  Thank you North Dakota for your support!
