Beekeeping in Titusville is regulated by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Registration is required. The city's proximity to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge supports pollinator-friendly practices. Hive setback and orientation requirements apply.
Titusville allows beekeeping on residential and agricultural properties in city limits. Hives should be set back at least 10 feet from property lines and 25 feet from public sidewalks or rights-of-way. A flyway barrier (fence or dense hedge) of at least 6 feet tall is recommended between hives and neighboring properties to redirect bee flight paths above head height. The number of hives is typically limited to 2-4 on standard residential lots, with more allowed on larger parcels. Florida may require registration of apiaries with the state department of agriculture. Water sources must be provided on the property to prevent bees from seeking water on neighboring properties.
Beekeeping complaints are handled through nuisance provisions. Non-compliant apiaries receive correction notices. Fines of $50–$100 apply if setback or flyway barrier requirements are not met within 30 days.
