APPRENTICE BEEKEEPING

     The next Apprentice Beekeeper course (Tier 2 of the 4-tier WASBA certifications) will be offered by SnoKing Beekeepers via zoom on 7 consecutive Thursdays April 13 to May 25, 2023, 6:30-8:30PM.

     Class & outline: Class powerpoint presentations generally follow the chapters in the manual. We'll email an outline for each session that has some notes on it to reduce the need for notetaking. Powerpoint presentation is more detailed than the manual.

     Application: Please fill out the class application, if possible online at www.snokingbka.org by clicking on the button below. If online application is not possible, we will be glad to send you an application by email. Completing the application is important: the manual will be sent to the address given, and the name on application goes on the certificate.

     Manual: The printed manual is sent to the address on the application. Also, I can send you the digital, but you have paid for a print version when you pay for the class.

     WASBA membership: The Washington State Beekeepers Association wrote the manual and issues your certificate a couple weeks after the end of the course. WASBA considers your annual dues to them paid when we request your certificate after you pass the test.

Payment: $45 for the course if $25 dues already paid for Oct 1, 2022 – Sept. 30, 2023. If SnoKing dues have not yet been paid, please pay $70 total ($45 +$25 dues), by 

1. paypal to snokingba@gmail.com, or 

2. via Facebook “Donate” button on facebook at the address @SnoKingBeekeepers.

3. check to SnoKing Beekeepers Association, 15324 228th ST SE, Snohomish,  WA

Looking forward to hearing from you.
