Beekeeping in the Village of Indiantown is broadly permitted under Florida Statute 586.10 (the 2016 Beekeeping Act), which preempts local prohibitions and most local regulation of registered apiaries. Beekeepers must register with the Florida Department of Agriculture (FDACS).
Fla. Stat. 586.10 (effective 2016) preempts local ordinances that prohibit honeybee colonies and substantially limits local regulation. Local governments may not prohibit registered apiaries managed in accordance with FDACS Best Management Practices (BMPs). Beekeepers must register colonies with FDACS within 30 days of acquisition; registration is free for hobby beekeepers. BMPs cover hive density per acre, water sources, swarm management, and gentle-stock requirements. Indiantown does not have its own beekeeping ordinance and follows the state preemption framework.
Operating without FDACS registration can result in inspection orders. Local enforcement is limited because of state preemption; nuisance complaints proceed under general nuisance law.
