Class Registration

Apprentice Beekeeper Application

     Apprentice is the 2nd tier of the 4-tier curriculum of the Washington State Beekeepers Association (WASBA): Beginning, Apprentice, Journeyman, Master. The curriculum is designed to be sequential, so the WASBA Beginner certificate is to be earned before starting Apprentice. Also, you must have kept bees for at least one season. If you are unsure which class to register for, please contact Eli Ocheltree, eliochel@snokingbka.org, 206-859-7392, first.

     Beginning Beekeeper may be challenged if desired. Payment of membership and of class fee will still be required, but experienced beekeepers or beekeepers who have taken another beginner class may wish to read the manual and challenge the online test. Email Eli Ocheltree at eliochel@snokingbka.org if you wish to do so.

To see the requirements for any tier, click here or go to the Washington State Beekeepers Association (WASBA) at www.wasba.org.
