The days are gone when you could put a bee hive in the yard and ignore it until the honey was ready to harvest, because there are imported pests that will destroy a hive if not treated. Also there are Florida Dept. of Agriculture permitting and inspection requirements that need to be met even by a one or two colony beekeeper. A great deal of the agricultural production in this area depends on bees for pollination, so anybody that gets into beekeeping is not only getting they honey they produce, but they are doing a service for the fruit and vegetable producers in the area. We need to protect and preserve our bees to assure reliable food production. This is a great class for anyone that is even considering getting into beekeeping.
