Any other Southern Florida Beekeepers yet? I’m in SW FL. We are new to bees, but learning quick. My husband is taking a beekeeping course through the local bee group soon. I think we’ve checked out every book our local library has. We had a swarm move into our city water cover. We built a basic hive to save them until our Flow is ready and should be moving them in this week. ---

I’m also in SWF. Very new to all this. Bought a box to move some wild bees into it that are living in my friends abandoned trailer. Haven’t tackled the task yet. Considering volunteering to help out other local bee keepers who have a lot of hives to get familiar with it first. So far all I’ve done is watch my brother who keeps African bees in belize. I want to get hands on. Sounds better than the books I’ve read. ---

Hey everyone, We are in Palm Beach County, we have one established hive now (after a bumpy start) getting ready for out 2nd in the next week or so. Looking forward to getting the complete Flow by the end of the year. We think our first hive will be ready to split by then. I wish everyone best wishes when you get your Flow and hope you keep us all posted on your progress. ---

Hello , My name is Melissa & I am looking for someone within 1.5 hour drive from the Tampa Bay Area , who has a flow hive and May be willing to share with us how it’s going, maybe give a mini lesson or more what ever you are comfortable with. We will be doing the online flow education as well, but I am looking for some hands on learning For my three children and I.

Almost 5 years later and we have our firs flow hive in Polk City, FL. We haven’t started yet. We are currently getting educated first. How’s your beekeeping going in Tampa?
