We are a group of beekeepers from the Peninsula and Middle Peninsula areas of Virginia. Members range from as far south as Hampton, to as far north as Middlesex, to as far east as Mathews and all points between. Our purposes are many:

  • Enjoying the wonders of nature

  • Fostering the keeping, efficient management, and preservation of honey bees

  • Providing pollination for local agriculture

  • Informing members and our communities of the ecological and economic benefits of honey bees

  • Educating members in the science and techniques of apiculture (Being "beekeepers" and not "bee-havers")

  • Harvesting honey!

 

Bar-b-que and BEEKEEPING FIELD DAY at Steve Hunt's Beeyard in Poquoson on SATURDAY MAY 19 @ 1 PM. Lots of hives to look into, and the best BBQ you can find! If you are just thinking about keeping bees, this is your opportunity to come see what it is all about - Everyone is welcome regardless of beekeeping experience. We will have veils and gloves available. Just come hungry! Click 'News' for details and directions.

 

 

Regular meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of each month (January through October), from 7 PM to 9 PM, in the Fellowship Hall of St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Yorktown (Grafton), VA. The annual November Dinner meeting is held at a local restaurant.
