Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. 
To determine the final location of the cache, answer this question: 

True or false?
Mining bees (Andrenidae) in the genus Perdita are the smallest bees in North America, often distinguished by distinct cream or yellow markings on their face and abdomen. In Florida, they nest in sand dunes. Instead of lining the inside walls of their nests, like most bees do, they cover the stored pollen with a glandular secretion to protect it from getting moldy. They are most active during the summer, visiting common dune plants like blanket flower (Gaillardia pulchella), dune sunflower (Helianthus debilis), and camphorweed (Heterotheca subaxillaris).

True = N 27° 15.783' W 082° 16.570'

False = N 27° 14.319’ W 082° 15.041'

Don't forget to look for codes engraved on some of the “Dizzy Bee" geoart containers. Visit GC9JWYG and plug the codes into the equation to reveal the bonus cache location.

Terrain rating reflects trail condition and length of hike to final location.

Myakka River State Park is one of Florida's oldest and largest state parks popular for hiking, fishing, camping and wildlife observation. If you are going out on the trails, bring plenty of water, bug repellent and sunscreen. Cell phone coverage is unreliable, so a trail map and GPS are highly recommended. Depending on the season, the trails may be wet. To avoid an unpleasant wildlife encounter, watch where you put your hands and feet.

Park Entrance Fees as of January 2022 are:
• Vehicle (2-8 people): $6.00
• Vehicle (1 person): $4.00
• Extra passengers: $2.00
• Motorcycle: $4.00
• Pedestrians & bicyclists: $2.00
