About

Meet the beekeeper, Fawn. Her beekeeping journey started in the summer of 2016 with a call from a friend who was moving and asked her if she would take her bees. She asked, "Having no prior experience with honeybees, what does that mean to take the bees?" Fawn, her husband, and a beekeeper she met at a farmers market in Washington, DC relocated the friend's top bar hive to her property, and so the bee journey began. In the Spring of 2017, she completed an eight-week Practical Beekeeping course with the Northern Virginia Beekeeping Teaching Consortium. 

Victory Hill Apiary is named after the beekeepers middle name Victorie given to her by her father, Harold, at birth whose middle name is Victor. This was his way to pass on his name since he had a family of daughters and the beekeepers way of giving a nod to her beloved father. Hill is from the beekeepers placement of their home on a high hill in historic Clifton, VA. An apiary is place where honeybees are kept.

VHA shares its love of bees by mentoring new and returning beekeepers. They promote the importance of bees as key pollinators of plants and their role in our ecosystem, the health benefits of honey, as well as the role of responsible beekeeping. Without honeybees the sustainability of our global food source would be in jeopardy.
