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.

Beekeepers,
We made the minimum! We can buy bees at the $175.00 price. 
Nucs will have total of 5 frames. There will be 4 frames of Bees, 1 frame of foundation, between 2-3 frames of brood including all eggs and larvae and, a young laying Queen (unmarked and not caged) in a corrugated plastic reusable nuc box. Everything is included in the price.
There is still time to add to the order, if you haven’t put your name on the list yet. Please contact me and let me know by Feb 14th. We don’t have a firm pick-up date yet, but the “window” is the last week of Feb, or first week of March. I will pick up the nucs, and have them ready for dispersal at the Ag Center as soon as I get confirmed pick-up date. Now that we know that we have met the minimum, I need some money, Checks or cash please the Club is not set up for credit cards.
