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.
