Advanced Study Group (free to BCBC members, all others $10) for Journeyman and Master Beekeeper certification will begin Wednesdays April 17-May 15 at 122 Lyman Street in Asheville. 6:30-8:30 pm
We will follow the curriculum as outlined on the NCSBA site. So take a look and see how serious you are!
Beginner Certified Study Group Classes are scheduled for Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:30 starting May 15- June 26 at 122 Lyman Street in Asheville. ($30)
If you would like to become NC certified here are the requirements (and in this order):
- Be a current NCSBA member and Buncombe County Beekeeping Chapter member. (You can become a member for $10)
- Pass a written test, through our chapter at the end of the course or given at one of the statewide conferences.
- Pass a practical test (involves manipulating a hive of bees), administered by another certified beekeeper through a local chapter. Four months beekeeping experience are needed prior to taking the practical test.
In order to prepare for the certified level, we expect you to have a beginning beekeeping school under your belt.
Check out the study guide on the website: NCbeekeepers.org
Those that pass the written test will be invited to take the practical test in July at the club’s apiary. TBA
