Since 1886 the VBA has promoted the general welfare of Vermont's Honey Industry, while sustaining a friendly body of unity among the state's beekeepers. Changes at the VBA Site...
We've made some of the menu choices a bit clearer. For example, under Resources you'll find a grouping of News links including a new Vermont Bee News (which joins World Beekeeping News and others). All are updated in realtime so you don't have to look for the latest bee news stories elsewhere. You can also subscribe to realtime RSS feeds on any page that has this icon 
at the bottom - simply click on it for details. [Read about RSS]
The new VBA Calendar allows you to subscribe to events and import them into your online, desktop or mobile device and the site's search feature (at the top of each page) is more powerful.
If you notice any missing articles or broken links, please report them here. Thanks!
