Clemson’s Apiculture and Pollinator Program (CAPP) provides extension support to South Carolina’s beekeepers and public education to conserve pollinators statewide. The primary goals of CAPP are to 1) enhance beekeeping in South Carolina by improving educational resources for beekeepers and 2) protect the state’s native pollinators by improving public awareness and perceptions.
