FIBKA Lectures Intermediate

To provide additional resources for beekeepers in Intermediate Study

groups, a group of CFLS & Senior

beekeepers previously involved with

FIBKA examinations have put a series of Intermediate practical lectures

together to supplement the study groups nationwide.

The series consists of 13 nights with one of those concentrating on exam techniques.

This is not designed to take from local study groups, but to supplement

their knowledge, particularly where association members do not have

access to more senior beekeepers.

Each lecturer will cover the topic on the night 45-50 min and then deal

with some past papers at the level and standard of answer required and

identify the main points required. The cost for the series is €200.
