Hello Tom, glad to talk with you about honey bees on your property and mentoring. Feel free to text me at 703 973-7275. Pat

I'm looking to host beehives on my property for pollination. I am creating a natural habitat for fauna and flora. I don't need the honey so it is all yours. You will need to manage and harvest the hives. Please let me know if you are interested. I live off Hamilton Station Rd in Hamilton. missterrys@gmail.com Terry

Hi Tom. Are you attending the 2026 LBA beekeeping course? If so, a mentor is assigned to the students towards the end of the course. This mentorship is for the student that is choosing to keep bees this Spring.

Does anyone have any hive boxes that they want to sell? I’m looking for 1-2 full height boxes with frames. 1-2 mediums with or without frames. I would also need 2 hive tops and 2 top boards. A queen extractor or two would be nice, but not necessary. Used boxes are okay, but does anyone build new boxes out of cedar? I would like to stain mine instead of painting. Also, I don’t mind cleaning and waxing them if I have to. I just thought I would save you some work. I would like to expand my hives and get a jump on preparing for next year. If you know of anyone getting out of the beekeeping business, then please pass my info along to them.

My family just started one hive in May. So far it has been going well and the bees are building up their honeycomb. I am looking for a mentor to help support us to ensure our hive thrives and we are doing all we can to help our bees. We have been reading and using the internet, but would love someone on one support.

Hey Y'all! My name is Riyyen and I have been wanting to start beekeeping for a while but I just cant keep up with the prices. I'm 14 and too old for a lemonade stand yet too young for a part time job. So I was wondering If anyone had an old hive (Without the bees) that has been sitting in a shed for a while and needs to get rid of. I'm trying to surprise my mom because shes been wanting to keep bees but because we are moving this summer, we don't have the extra cash. Anything would be great and I just want to get into this hobby too. From, Riyyen 910-265-5076 bassbattalion0@gmail.com

I am Michael, the property manager for Dutchmans Creek Farm in Lovettsville, Virginia. We would like to offer our land for you to produce your honey in exchange for a portion of the production. We have 205 acres nearby the Potomac River on a conservation area that is ideal for a bee farm. However, we do not have the experience to produce honey ourselves. Let me know your thoughts. Best Michael

Hello! My name is Macy Schilling. I recently purchased a 50 acre farm in Leesburg with an apple orchard and soon a native wildflower garden. I really am hoping someone needs land to host a honeybee colony in exchange for some honey. Please reach out if you’re interested!
