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, please refer to our applications page. The HBA Examination Secretary will contact you to discuss your application.
