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.

October/November 2020

If you haven't heard the good news, I'm excited to be able to share it. Our "Save the Bees" License Plate Bill was approved and we are well on our way to being able to presell it to you! Our design is in the works, and once approved, vouchers to pre purchase the plate will be available at your local DMV office. We need to presell 3000 to put our plate in production. Once we meet our presale goal, the plate will start getting made and you will be notified when it is ready to pick up!

The most exciting part about this, besides having a really cool Bee License Plate, is the funds are allocated for Honeybee Research.This will give us the opportunity to support some of the top researchers, performing some of the most important research to assist all of us beekeepers.

Stay tuned, as soon as we know the vouchers are available, we will get the word out to all. Please, then, help us but spreading the word. This plate will be exciting to so many people, beekeepers and non.

Also, stay tuned for our announcement for Zoom Sessions for our Annual Meeting and Education November 12th and 14th.

Happy Extracting, and Fall Feeding to all!
