Honey Bee Health Certificate
Important reminder – your bees would thank you for more knowledge!
As we had good success with candidates taking and passing the BBKA Honey Bee Health assessment last year, we’re planning to offer training again in 2024. The syllabus is on the BBKA website.
If you would like to increase your knowledge of honeybee health, pests and diseases do get in touch. You can attend the educational sessions without taking the assessment, but you need to have passed the BBKA Basic Assessment to take the Honey Bee Health Certificate.
I will run some sessions on zoom and have some practise sessions at the apiary. The assessment itself is usually held between May and July so you have plenty of time if you would like to have a chat and see what is involved before committing. The application to take the assessment must be submitted during April.
Do let me know if you would be interested. (Email address below)
