Demand an End to killing Wild/Feral honey bees and stop Florida from making Live Bee Removal Illegal for Beekeepers!
​

Florida is trying to make Live Bee Removal illegal for beekeepers! This effort must be stopped! Our wild/feral honey bees need to be protected – as well as all of our native pollinators!

Saving honey bees is critical – without pollination we would not have food! Limiting live bee removal means killing more pollinators as well as more pesticides flooding our environment.

With colony collapse disorder and parasites and viruses inundating our honey bee populations we need all the honey bees we can get. We need the freedom to have our honey bees removed as we see fit. If this becomes a rule or a law home owners will no longer have the right to choose to have their honey bees removed alive and will be forced to exterminate them ! 
​
"Maybe" the pest control operators will save them even though this education is not taught for a pest control license. Please tell the state of Florida that you won't stand for this and that you support Live Bee Removal by beekeepers and our Wild/Feral Bee populations! You can move the text by dragging and dropping the Text Element anywhere on the page.

Excerpt from public record email
Sent on behalf of Anderson H. Rackley, Director of Agricultural Environmental Services, FDACS

Dear Stakeholders,

Thank you for coming to the table to discuss the issue of bee removal from structures. This is a topic that was brought forward by the Pest Control Enforcement Advisory Council, and it is an issue that deserves careful consideration. We believe it is prudent to initially explore consumer concerns related to bee removal from structures in independent meetings with the beekeeping and pest control industries.  Therefore, the workshop set for February 2, 2018 is being cancelled at this time.
 
We will continue to gather additional input from all stakeholders and will keep everyone updated on any future workshop dates that may occur. 
 
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by cancelling this meeting and look forward to our future conversations.
