Vermont Beekeepers Association

Since 1886, the Vermont Beekeepers Association (VBA) has been dedicated to promoting the general welfare of Vermont's Apiculture Industry. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, VBA fosters a friendly and unified community among the state's beekeepers. Representing over 900 beekeepers, the association includes hobbyists with one or two colonies, sideliners with 25-200 colonies, and full-time professional migratory and commercial apiculture enterprises. VBA members are united by their fascination with and affection for bees, raising them for both the love of beekeeping and honey production, and in many cases, as a livelihood.
