Hello Rene,

There are two grants that I can think of that can help with beekeeping. The first program in County Agricultural Investment Program (CAIP). This program is run through each county, reach out to your local extension office to see who runs the program in your county. Here is a document with some information on how it works for beekeeping.

There is also a Small-Scale Farm Grant Program through Kentucky State University. Here is a link to the overall program and to the beginning beekeeping program.
