​​​THREE MICRO-APIARIES IN BROWARD COUNTY PARKS​

In recent years a phenomenon now know as "colony collapse disorder" has resulted in a dramatic decline of the honeybee population in North America and parts of Europe, along with a corresponding impact on agricultural crops dependent on honeybees for pollination. Urban beekeeping, including micro-apiaries, has grown increasingly popular in such major metropolitan areas as London, New York, and Toronto as one way to counteract colony collapse.

Broward County Parks has three micro-apiaries located in Plantation Heritage Park, Tradewinds Park & Stables, and Tree Tops Park, which are managed by the Broward Beekeepers Association. ​To learn more about the Broward Beekeepers Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of beekeeping, please follow the link above.
