Bees and Equipment

State law requires that all beekeepers be registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

To register, contact the Bureau of Apiary Inspection Division of Plant Industry P.O. Box 147100, Gainesville, FL 32614 or call 352/372-3505. Beekeepers offering bees for sale must submit their registration number with their ad. However, beekeeping equipment that does not contain bees can be advertised without a registration number.
