Book Description
This book follows the same style and approach as all the other popular Beekeeping Study Notes for the BBKA Examinations, the first of which was published in 1990. This third edition has been updated and prepared by John and Dawn Yates. They need no introduction as they are both well known beekeepers. They have followed their usual style by addressing every section of the syllabus in considerable detail in order to assist those who may be contemplating I sitting this examination. They are both Master Beekeepers having passed the BBKA Senior Examination on successive years and both gaining the coveted Wax Chandler Prize for the best written papers of their year. They are both convinced that the BBKA must be a self-supporting organisation, particularly in the educational field where the traditional assistance from County Bee Instructors has now vanished and assistance from the National Bee Unit in adult bee disease diagnosis has become prohibitively expensive for the average beekeeper. These latest study notes will be especially useful for the training of branch microscopists. The book provides the necessary information to enable those who are interested in microscopy to attain the confidence and competence required. The examination sylabus has changed since the first edition was prepared; it now contains much on safety and hygiene. This third edition has several new colour plates.

Book Description
This book addresses each topic in the FIBKA Basic and Intermediate Examinations with a view to assisting those studying on their own informally at home. The syllabus is a long one with over 90 topics to be considered. Until the issue of this book it was necessary for the student to consult a multitude of different works to acquire a thorough understanding of the subject matter for examinat!on purposes. The book is a must for anyone contemplating either of the two examinations. The authors are very well qualified to prepare such a volume. They are both BBKA examiners and Master Beekeepers and are weil familiar with the problems that confront students and candidates. They are both past winners of the coveted Wax Chandler Prize for the best results in the BBKA Senior Examinations and are the only man and wife team to achieve this feat. John started beekeeping during the second world war and Dawn started after they returned to the UK from careers in the Colonial Service, Engineering and Nursing respectively. They are now retired in Devon and manage 20 colonies and about the same number of nuclei as part of their queen rearing programme each year. John has been a member for some years of the BBKA Examination Board.
