The  University of Florida Veterinary Feed Directive system is online and  active. If you need antibiotics for your bees this is required to  purchase antibiotics, or a prescription from your veterinarian.

Now we have the VFD link: https://www.honeybeevfd.com/ working. If you don’t have a PC and/or email address then you will have  to go to a veterinarian to get the VFD to purchase antibiotics.

Subject: Ordering Nucs thru the SJCBA Bee Club

Do you need Bees??? 

Just let me know. Please put Nucs” in the subject box if you email me.

This years club discount price for Nucs is $165.00 per nuc if we meet the minimum of 50 nucs. This is a great deal. It’s the same price as last year. Club discount is for members in good standing only (that means your dues must be paid for 2019). 

We buy the nucs from Jester’s Bees in Mims, Florida. Nucs have total of 5 frames, and include an unmarked laying Italian queen. The nuc box is corrugated plastic reusable box. They will be ready for us by March 15. If they have some cove available before that, they will let me know. I will let everyone know when they are going to arrive. You will be able to pick them up at the ag center. 

Our President and Master Beekeeper is also an Expert in swarm catching. If a bee colony has decided to move into your home, don't panic! Don't spray them! Call Bo Sterk. (904) 377 - 5167 Bo will catch them and move them to a new home. KEEP IN MIND: Bee removal services are not for free. It is a difficult and specialized process taking time and money to achieve a safe removal. It is a professional service. The prices vary on the degree of removal.
