    Beekeeping is best learned in community. By joining your local beekeeping network, you’ll gain access to a wealth of shared knowledge, hands-on experience, and ongoing support from people who understand the rhythms and challenges of tending bees. The Vermont Beekeepers Association (VBA) offers free hands-on workshops and it’s a great way to join a network of people to support you and your bees.

  • Vermont Women in Beekeeping (WiB) was established to provide women a place to collaborate with others on a similar path.

    We welcome everyone and believe in creating a space where knowledge is shared openly and community comes first. You can find us on social media to see where we are, what we’re doing, and learn about upcoming workshops and gatherings.

    Whether you're brand new or have years of experience, there’s a place for you here.
