Hotel Information Page

Please be sure to book your hotel reservations very soon! There are only a limited number of hotel rooms available in the area, and competition for these rooms will be high at this time of year. To make your search more convenient we provide some local hotel options below. These hotels are not officially endorsed by the University of Florida, the UF Bee College, or the UF Master Beekeeper Program. At some of these hotels, rooms have been blocked-off for Bee College students; however, we are unable to guarantee availability! Hotels with rooms blocked-off are listed first--when reserving rooms, please specify that you are attending the Bee College to receive the discounted rate.

The Bee College will be held at the
