Journeyman Class Registration

Journeyman Beekeeper Application

     The next Journeyman class will start 6:30PM September 11, 2023 and be held on 10 consecutive Monday evenings. If the information below does not answer your questions, contact Eli Ocheltree, Master Beekeeper, before registering or paying the class fee.

     Journeyman is the 3rd 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 and Apprentice certificates are to be earned before starting Journeyman. Also, you must be in at least your 3rd year of keeping bees because 3 years beekeeping experience is another requirement to earn the Journeyman certificate. If you are unsure which class to register for, please contact us first.

      Beginning Beekeeper may be challenged if desired; for the Apprentice certificate, please call Eli 206-859-7392 with any questions. Payment of SnoKing 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.
     If registering for a class, please add eliochel@snokingbka.org and eliochel@gmail.com to your "Contacts" or "Safe Senders" list to keep our response to your application and payment from going into your Spam folder. If you are expecting a response from us, please also check there if you have not added those addresses.

     The $65 class fee includes the class manual which is offered in 2 formats: digital and print. The digital .pdf is emailed to all students and future updates will be sent out digitally to all students enrolled in the course. The print manual can be mailed by USPS to the address on the application. It has been requested that SnoKing offer a “Save Trees!” option, the option to receive only the electronic version of the manual with updates emailed as they occur in the future. The price is still the same for the digital only as for the both digital and print options because WASBA prices them that way.

So, if you wish to “Save Trees”, please select that option on the application below.
