The Victorian Apiarists' Association

The Victorian Apiarists' Association (VAA) is the peak beekeeping body for Victoria. It was founded in 1892 and supports all commercial and recreational beekeepers.  

The VAA plays an important role in policy decisions concerning bees and beekeeping through its negotiations with federal, state and local government bodies. We collaborate and network with the other state-level beekeeping organisations in Australia. We work to build networks and connections to beekeeping communities around the world.
