PBKA Beekeepers Basic Assessment Success
In May of this year eight beekeepers from the Association successfully took the WBKA Basic Assessment. Paul Eades and Jeremy Percy achieving distinctions with Paul scoring ‘the highest mark ever since the WBKA started recording them’.
All those taking part felt that preparing and taking this assessment was very valuable to them and they plan to take at least the Honeybee Management (Module 1) next year.
The full results in alphabetic order:
John Dudman – Credit
George Durham – Credit
Paul Eades – Distinction
John Myers – Pass
Tom Pegg – Credit
Jeremy Percy – Distinction
Gordon Watson – Pass
Chris Welton – Pass
We want to encourage all of our members to take the WBKA Examinations starting with the Basic Assessment. PBKA Members wishing to take the Basic Assessment next year should contact PBKA Training using the form below.
