PBKA – How can BBKA help you be a better beekeeper?

This session will introduce the BBKA Qualifications and resources available to members and consider how you might prepare for BBKA qualifications, as well as their value.

BBKA Learning Online has a range of visual, practical materials for both tutors and learners, and we’d like to know what you want, as well as what you think about what is already there.

The joy of beekeeping is that there is always something new to learn!

This session will be led by Jane Medwell (BBKA) who manages the ‘Learning Platform’  with Julia Hoggard (Kendal BKA) and Peter Weatherill (Cockermouth BKA) also providing information about the support that they can provide at the local level.
