New funding from USDA backs beekeeping-centric program at UTSA

After UTSA became an R1 university in 2021, it's no surprise a mounting stream of exciting research and new student opportunities is coming out of the college. In June, the university announced that UTSA Department of Integrative Biology Assistant Professor of Practice Ferhat Ozturk had landed a major grant that would fund expanded research and education at the school. The award of $2.8 million from the USDA will fund the school's HONEY (Honeybee Oriented Nextgen Entrepreneurs and Youth) Pathway, which aims to grow a new generation of urban beekeepers.
