Dr. Vincent Aloyo is honored by the Eastern Apiculture Society As the recipient of the Charles and Evelyn Divelbliss Award
The 2026 Charles & Evelyn Divelbliss Award recipient, Dr. Vincent Aloyo, is an EAS Master Beekeeper and friend to everyone in beekeeping he contacts. Keeping honey bees for over 55 years, he is among the small percentage of beekeepers who had the opportunity to keep bees prior to Tracheal and Varroa mites devastating impact on honey bees.
He has kept bees in TN, NY, PA, and the Netherlands, and today has about 25 production hives from which he extracts honey that he sells locally. He also raises queens along with numerous nucs, both of which he sells to local beekeepers.
He served on the board of a local state beekeeper association as well as taught intermediate beekeeping for the same association.
He taught apiculture at Temple University, currently instructs intermediate beekeeping for a local association, and teaches apiculture to undergraduates at Delaware Valley University in Doylestown, PA.
This year’s recipient has taught at the EAS conference on several occasions. He is viewed by those who know him as one of the best people to go to when they encounter a beekeeping problem. He also provides instruction to beekeepers in their apiaries through a hive side mentoring service.
His cumulative record of service in the cause of beekeeping, his exceptional knowledge and skills as a beekeeper, and his willingness to help others prompted the PA State Beekeepers to recognize him as the 2020 Beekeeper of the Year.
This year’s recipient of the Charles and Evelyn Divelbiss Award is Dr. Vincent Aloyo.
Honey for sale
The honey I have for sale is from my hives kept in various locations in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The bees source it from a variety of local flowers that bloom in the spring and early summer. I strain but do not filter the honey, so it contains pollen from the source flowers. It is available in mason jar quarts (~3 pounds) or gallon plastic jugs (12 pounds).
