BEEKEEPING COURSESOur next Beginner's Course will start in March 2012, covering the main aspects of keeping bees. A group of our experienced beekeepers share the teaching. There is no exam at the end of this course. It will run for six weekly evening sessions of 2 hours each plus 4 practical visits to our teaching apiary near Kenwood House, Highgate. The cost of the course is £100 which includes a copy of ‘Starting Out with Bees’ by John Williams. The course is now oversubscribed but there is a waiting list for the following course in March 2013. Contact the Education Secretary by click to email for more details or if you want to be put on the waiting list.  THE BASIC ASSESSMENT IN BEEKEEPINGFollowing on from our Beginner’s Beekeeping course the BBKA “Basic Assessment in Beekeeping” provides a way of confirming your knowledge and skill in handling bees. You need to have kept bees for a year and know about bee diseases in order to take the assessment. THE MODULESOnce you have passed the Basic Assessment, there are seven modules of study (there is no Module 4). We recommend that you form a group to study one of these modules or work towards them on an individual basis. Information on the “Basic Assessment” & “Modules” including the course syllabuses can be downloaded from the BBKA website BBKA Education Information. Contact our Education Secretary by click to email for more details.
