RICHMOND, Va. WRIC — Virginians interested in beekeeping can apply for the 2024 Virginia Beehive Distribution Program’s lottery until September 6.

To enter, residents must submit an application by the deadline for a chance to win free beehive equipment. Winners will be randomly selected and will need to assemble the beehive and add a colony of honey bees within a year.

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services VDACS will not provide honey bees or other equipment like safety gear or honey processing tools.

To apply, you must be a Virginia resident aged 18 or older. Businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies cannot apply. Multiple people at the same address can apply, but there’s a limit of three beehives per household each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30).
