Promoting beekeeping at local Shows, Carnivals and Fayres
| Each year we attend a number of events to introduce the public to beekeeping.
At each event we take an observation hive (unless one is supplied) that allows the public to see honey
bees close up, but safely behind glass!
It is a great opportunity to allay the public's fear of bees and to explain
the differences between honey bees, wasps and bumble bees.

Basic Assessment
To take the BBKA Basic Assessment
in beekeeping, candidates must have been keeping bees for twelve months or have already taken the
Branch's 'Introduction to Beekeeping' course.
Do you want to learn more about the craft of beekeeping? If you're a new beekeeper (or not so new for that matter) and want to learn much more about beekeeping then come along to our Basic Assessment in Beekeeping course. Although you might hate the thought of taking an exam, this is not compulsory. Just do the course and you'll have the opportunity to learn the basic things all beekeepers need to know.
The final exam is optional and is completely practical/oral and will take place at a hive (but not yours!).
The theory part of the Basic Assessment in Beekeeping course will be held at :
Venue, dates and times TBA
