The Basic Assessment
The basic assessment is open to beekeepers who are fully paid up members of LBKA who have been keeping bees for 12 months or more.
The assessment at Leeds BKA is on Sunday 28th July 2019 and consists of a BBKA appointed assessor observing you conducting an inspection and asking a series of questions about beekeeping.
If you cannot make the date of the assessment but would be interested in taking the examination elsewhere in the Yorkshire region please let me know as I may be able to arrange this.
The cost of the basic assessment is £20 (paid to BBKA) however this is refunded by Leeds Beekeepers Association pending a pass (applies to LBKA Full or Family members only).
