Welcome to Victory Garden Apiary, located on the former Reynolds Victory Garden in beautiful Princess Anne, MD. Our number one goal is preservation of the honeybee colonies in our area and public education on honeybees. We also occasionally sell honeybee colonies, honey, beeswax and bee products to support our cause. Future plans include guided apiary tours and possibly a small honey tasting area. If you’re interested in checking us out, please contact us for information!
Announcement:
Due to time and health constraints, we are no longer performing structural removals (also called cut-outs) beginning in 2023. We are certainly able to offer advice and expertise, but we cannot perform these types of complex hive relocations going forward. We will still offer swarm removal services. The information on the “Bees In Structures Or Trees” section of this website is still relevant, no matter who performs your removal.

We're healthy this year and ready to get back to bees! These ladies are very active on this windy Saturday. Unfortunately windy weather tends to create cranky bees. I was barely able to get a few seconds of video before getting bumped in the hands a few times. I took the warning and moved on!![]()

We're in the process of moving the apiary to its new location in Crisfield, MD. We'll keep you updated as things progress. See you around Delmarva. Bee good!
The queen bee in our observation hive searching for an empty cell where she can lay an egg. Apologies for the glare! We're near a window.
We're all set for the 3:00 opening, but we'll be here all night! Stop by Texas Roadhouse in Fruitland tonight and help save the bees!
Were back! Victory Garden Apiary is pleased to be attending their first public event since Jim got the thumbs up from the surgeon to get back to normal!![]()

I haven't been able to post much recently because I'm recovering from a surgical procedure. Nothing crazy, but enough to really slow me down. It definitely didn't slow the bees down, however. I'm very thankful for my beekeeper friends who have helped me while I was unable to do inspections and chase swarms. It'll be a little while before I'm back 100%, but I hope to be posting more soon. ![]()
