The nation's largest grower of wild blueberries -- a crop that relies on honeybees for pollination -- has thrown its support behind Penn State research aimed at finding solutions to the health crisis facing the nation's honeybee colonies. Ed Flanagan, president of Wyman's of Maine, visited Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences Thursday (March 26) to present a check for $50,000 to support research on Colony Collapse Disorder, or CCD, a mysterious ailment that has led to the disappearance of up to one-third of U.S. commercial honeybee hives since late 2006.

Many Penn State alumni, after years of establishing themselves in their careers and their lives, give back to help young students with their college costs. Benjamin Cordivano has given back, but with a difference: At age 24, he has endowed a student award, only two years after graduating from the University.

YGA offers educational opportunities for growers taking over the family operation, developing a new enterprise or innovating production practices.

The Youth as Researchers (YAR) methodology was developed by the UNESCO Chairs at the National University of Ireland Galway and Penn State University, USA. The focus of the methodology is for young people to participate in research and enhance their capacities during the process. Youth are supported through training, mentoring and coordination. UNESCO will employ the methodology in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to ensure that youth are meaningfully engaged in knowledge production on peacebuilding and citizen security.
