The Honey Bee Faculty Endowed Chair is fully funded. We reached our $5 million goal at the end of June!
This would not have happened without the support of generous donors. We are excited that the University will continue to research and support honey bees long into the future.
The endowment will provide perpetual funding to support a distinguished faculty member dedicated to honey bee research, facilitating innovative studies, educational programs, and promoting healthy bees,The University of Minnesota Bee Research Lab is known internationally for promoting healthy bees and sustainable beekeeping practices. Through an endowed chair position, CFANS (College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences), the Department of Entomology, and the Bee Lab seek to ensure that essential honey bee research continues long into the future.
