BBKA General Husbandry Assessment

Have you been beekeeping for 3 years and passed your Basic Assessment? If so, you may want to consider the General Husbandry Certificate.

This assessment is designed for beekeepers who prefer the practical approach rather than the written examinations. On the day, your assessment is conducted by two BBKA Assessors and consists of:

inspection of the candidate’s apiary, equipment and honey handling equipment.
manipulation of one or more colonies of the candidate’s bees
demonstration of a method of selective queen rearing
To apply for the assessment, complete the Application Form and send it with the Fee to your Area Examination Secretary.

The BBKA Examination Secretary will contact you with the assessment details.
