What’s the buzz?

“Save the bees!” they say. “It’s important!” they say. But how does one actually do such a thing, if you’re only a budding apiarist? That’s where the Central Virginia Beekeepers Association comes in. Founded in 1982 by two long-time beekeepers, the organization helps novices with classes, monthly idea-exchange meetings, and local events (check the group out at the Albemarle County Fair). Members will connect you with an experienced mentor and, even if you’re not interested in beekeeping, they can help you find someone to safely remove a swarm if you have one.
