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!

We are 11 minutes north of Blue Ridge Middle School: 9.77 acres west of Purcellville Road between Hillsboro and Purcellville, and would like to host some hives. Our property consists of hay fields and lawn, with a small woods to the south and west, and a tree line on the north side. We are working on planting wildflowers and making our property more bee friendly. After completing an online beekeeping class last fall, we are not in a position to begin this year, but would enjoy learning from someone else using our land. Please email rasmussenra@gmail.com if interested.

George, I have10-1/2 acres on Mill Road, mostly fences for our horses but have an area to keep Bees. My wife and I used to have 3 hives but gave up keeping Bees a few years back. There is possibly room for a few more. Contact me if you are interested.

Hi, I’m George Bongiovano, a veteran beekeeper with over 12 years of experience here in Loudoun County. Over the years, I’ve managed thriving honeybee colonies and worked on pollinator contracts with local farms to boost crop yields and support the environment. I’m currently looking for land to place 6–12 hives in the first year as I expand my beekeeping operation. If you’re a landowner interested in supporting local pollinators or working together, I’d love to connect!

@katieFace Would yah by chance be open to talking a bit more about your findings? I'm on 5+ acres with a few hives, wondering how I can get into the land use program
