You know your bees

In 2017, the FDA changed things for beekeepers, requiring a veterinarian whenever antibiotics are needed to treat disease in hives.


I'm Dr. Shea, and my role is not to replace your management experience. I'm here to fill that gap when antibiotics are needed, with respect for the expertise you bring.

How it works

Get your meds.
Help your colonies.

Two steps to get the prescriptions and VFDs you need.

1
Immediate help

A video call is scheduled so I can see what's going on in your hives. Once completed, I can arrange for a 14-day emergency supply of antibiotics to be sent to your supplier the same day. Note: VFDs cannot be written until a physical visit of the yard occurs.

2
Yard visit within 2 weeks.

I come to your yard to complete the in-person inspection California law requires. After that, I can continue to write prescriptions and VFDs for up to a year without a return visit.
