The full schedule is available here: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/honeybee/extension/Bee%20College/SFBC/SFBC_esp.pdf with an important addition; David Westervelt Asst. Chief of Apiary for the Florida Dept. Of Ag will be speaking on the new apiary rules regarding zoning, pesticides, bee removal and more.

Coffee and morning and afternoon  snacks provided by Sunshine Bakery  http://sunshinebakeryflorida.com/, and Seriously Local produce http://oceandrive.com/dining/articles/food-awakening,  lunch provided by Rinconcito Boliviano http://rinconcitoboliviano.com/ and a BBQ cookout cooked up fresh Friday night on location. We provide a printed program of all the lecture materials, so you won’t miss a thing. There will be goodie bags for everyone, a 21-class honey show open to all registrants (http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/honeybee/extension/Bee%20College/SFBC/Schedule%20.pdf) door prizes and open hive demo's all day! We’ve got smokers, hive tools, and bee suits/veils for everyone to get some real hands-on learning in the hive.  Plus, we have vendors like South Florida Bee Supplies http://www.sflbeesupplies.com/ and D&J Apiary http://www.dandjapiary.com/about.html with beekeeping merchandise available to purchase.

For the first time we are offering a Spanish-track featuring Dr. Ernesto Guzman Head of the Honey Bee Research Center of U. Guelph Ontario Canada https://www.uoguelph.ca/ses/users/eguzman.
