LOCAL BEE REMOVERS & BEE REMOVAL INFORMATION

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  Currently, the state of Florida recommends that all wild (or feral) honey bee colonies found in proximity to people (in walls, birdhouses, trees, etc.) be eradicated by a certified Pest Control Operator.  Just because a colony is calm now doesn't mean that it will always be.  Killing of wild bees has nothing to do with the problem of disappearance of managed bee colonies.   Eradicating one wild honey bee nest in Florida does nothing to hurt honey bee populations overall.           READ MORE about Bee Removal

 Saving wild bees is unrelated to the disappearance of managed honey bee colonies.

How do I join Beekeepers Association of Southwest Florida (BASF)?  Attend one of our meetings and pay applicable dues to our Treasurer, or you can DOWNLOAD an application for membership, and mail it to our treasurer along with applicable dues.  Currently $10 for current year if you are already a member of the Florida State Beekeepers Association (FSBA).  If you are not a member of FSBA then we can collect membership dues for FSBA as well, in which case the total amount would be $25 ($10 BASF + $15 FSBA).
