Club Activities
The Beekeepers Association of Northern Virginia (BANV) is a group of people who are interested in honey bees. Most of us live in Arlington or Fairfax counties. Here are some facts about our club and its members:
- Some of us keep honey bees, some keep solitary bees and some are just interested in bees
- Some of us have hundreds of hives, others have none
- We keep our honey bees in our backyards, on our friends’ farms, and in parks
- Some of us rent our bees to farmers to pollinate their crops
- You can find our honey for sale at local farmers’ markets and at our homes
The goal of our Association is to increase peoples’ knowledge of bees and to promote beekeeping in Northern Virginia.
- Meetings are open to nonmembers
- We welcome newcomers and would be happy to help you get started in beekeeping
- Our dues are affordable. We do not discriminate
- We welcome youngsters and support the Fairfax 4-H beekeeping club: 2 B A Bee
