In Florida, registration is required of honeybee colonies. The annual registration fees are as little as $10.00 to register up to five colonies of bees. All fees go to support a very excellent inspection program than is managed and staffed by highly experienced beekeepers.

 

You can start the registration process at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, https://www.fdacs.gov/Agriculture-Industry/Bees-Apiary/Beekeeper-Registration. Please contact Jose Gill if you need assistance at 772-201-2282 or Jose.Gill@fdacs.gov. You can also contact Erin Jenkins at 352-420-8401 or erin.jenkins@fdacs.gov.
