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 our northeast Florida inspector, Bry Roberson, 352-258-1579, with any questions or concerns.
