Premium Western red cedar beehives, shipped fast across Florida — Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and beyond. Harvest pure honey on tap in one of the country's best beekeeping climates. No extractor, no mess.
Florida is one of the top honey-producing states in the U.S. Its subtropical climate and long bloom season — from citrus to palmetto — keep your Flow Frames productive almost all year, far longer than colder states.
Ready for Heat and Humidity
Western red cedar resists moisture and breathes naturally — a real advantage in Florida's humidity. Give your hive afternoon shade, strong ventilation and a nearby water source, and harvest in the cooler morning hours for the smoothest flow.
Built to Weather the Season
Florida beekeeping means planning for storm season. Place your hive on a low, stable stand, secure the lid, and strap or weight the boxes when severe weather threatens. Our solid cedar and HDPE hives hold up to tough conditions.

Can I keep bees in my backyard in Miami, Orlando, Tampa or Jacksonville?
In most cases, yes. Beekeeping is allowed in urban and suburban Florida, but you must register with FDACS and follow local ordinances and any HOA restrictions. Check your city's code before you begin.
Do I need to register my beehive in Florida?
Yes. Florida law requires every beekeeper to register all colonies with FDACS — even a single backyard hive. You'll receive a FIRM number to mark on your hives, renew it annually, and your apiary may be inspected. Registration is quick and helps protect bees statewide.
Does a Flow Hive work in Florida's heat and humidity?
Yes. Cedar breathes and resists moisture, and bees cool their own hive well. In Florida's climate, give the hive afternoon shade, strong ventilation and a nearby water source, and harvest in the cooler morning hours.
What about hurricane season?
Plan ahead. Keep your hive on a low, stable stand, secure the lid, and strap or weight the boxes when a storm is forecast. Our solid cedar and insulated HDPE hives are built to handle tough conditions.
When is the best time to start beekeeping in Florida?
Florida's mild climate lets you start earlier than most states — often late winter or early spring — and keep your colony active and productive nearly year-round.
