Capilano Creates Apprentice Beekeepers Jobs

With the long-term sustainability of the Australian beekeeping industry at the forefront of our purpose, we launched Capilano’s Keeping Futures program in mid-2017.

The start of a long-term commitment that aims to deliver a range of projects in the beekeeping community and Australian Universities, Keeping Futures has been established to promote the long term protection and sustainability of Australia’s honey bee colonies and the beekeepers that take such good care of them.

Bee a Beekeper Project

This fabulous initiative was announced by commencing our first official project, Bee a Beekeeper, which saw three fully funded beekeeping scholarships on offer to school leavers of any age.
We were thrilled to receive almost 150 applications for these exciting roles. After an extended selection process, which included site tours and information sessions to allow candidates to get a detailed insight into what they could learn undertaking a beekeeping apprenticeship, we realised the level of talent and enthusiasm was so high that rather than making three offers, we ended up awarding FOUR fully-funded scholarships!
