![]() Welcome! The Franklin County Beekeepers Association (FCBA) has designed a North Carolina specialty license plate in an effort to bring more awareness to the plight of our state insect, the honey bee. The proposed plate is based on the “First in Flight” plate and a honey bee logo appears on the left hand side of the plate. The DMV requires 300 pre-paid applications before it will consider the initial plate application. The initial applications must be processed as a single submission with one check. To comply with this requirement, applications will be collected by the FCBA. All checks *must* be to us by February 28th.
Displayed above is an example of what the plate will look like. The application can be found here: License Plate Application or http://goo.gl/KNs4Qh The first 300 applications must be combined into one package with one check submitted to DMV from the Franklin County Beekeepers Association. Each application must include the following items:
If you would like a plate for your vehicle, please promptly send the completed application and check or money order, made out to "FCBA", to this address:
