Busy Bee in Live Oak
Last inspected:
6458 Us Highway 129, Live Oak, FL 32060Busy Bee #25 is a convenience store in Live Oak that has received 5 FDACS inspections since May 2023. The facility recorded 21 total violations across two standard sanitation inspections (May 2025 and May 2023), with all violations corrected on site during those inspections. Three focused inspections conducted in 2025 and 2023 for sample collection and consumer complaint follow-up resulted in zero violations.
The May 2023 inspection cited a priority violation for poisonous or toxic materials: chemical spray bottles of Fabuloso and cleaners were stored above syrup concentrate boxes in the retail back room, and disinfectant and multipurpose cleaner bottles were stored on shelving above condiments including ketchup. Both sets of bottles were relocated to appropriate storage during the inspection. That same May 2023 visit also documented a handwashing sink in the fudge/jerky area made inaccessible by storage of a baking pan and utensils; management removed and relocated these items immediately. The May 2025 sanitation inspection found a can opener blade with visible residue accumulation in the retail back room (corrected on site by washing, rinsing, and sanitizing) and a hand wash sink near ice machines blocked by food storage (violation of handwashing sink accessibility). All violations across both standard inspections were corrected before the inspector left the facility.
