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. Donations Needed
In preparation for the VBA Summer Meeting being held on June 22nd at the Fairfax High School in Fairfax, VT, we are asking for your help.
Each year we hold a silent auction to help support the VBA. We are looking for donations to be included in this year's silent auction.
If you have beekeeping goodies or other items you would like to donate, we would be very grateful for your generosity. All donors will be recognized during the silent auction for their wonderful contributions. If you would like to donate an item, please contact Michael Willard, the VBA Recording Secretary, at
