WBKA is keen to encourage members to undertake some learning, whether practical, theory, or both. Gaining a better understanding of bees and beekeeping practice helps us to manage and care for our bees and many beekeepers find undertaking some study both rewarding and stimulating.

WBKA offers its own Junior, Basic and Honey Bee Health Assessments (which mirror those provided by BBKA).  For all other practical exams and written Modules WBKA members will need to either join an association affiliated to BBKA or join BBKA directly.   WBKA will support all members who wish to do this by providing a financial subsidy (currently £25 per annum ) towards the membership fee in the years exams are taken. BBKA members have access to the BBKA Online learning portal, training material and correspondence courses.

Please see the further detail and relevant syllabus for each exam/assessment.

You can contact us by email at  education@wbka.com if you have any queries, need more information, or to discuss the options available.
