The Virginia Beach Bee Club (VBBC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Virginia Beach.  Our mission is to promote and foster community awareness, beekeeper fellowship, education, resources, and overall importance and understanding of the honeybee (apis mellifera) using sustainable, chemical-free beekeeping methods.  Our goals are to champion the survival and health of honeybees, to assist local beekeepers with local municipalities and states to invoke reasonable apiculture legislation, to provide support to new and experienced beekeepers and public interest via monthly meetings and scheduled events and to demonstrate Best Management Practices (BMP’s) throughout the Virginia Beach area.
