Toolkit – General Beekeeping

General beekeeping

This is a list of sound reliable resources that is collated to help teachers, apiary managers and BKA officials to teach beekeeping at all levels. It is part of the BIBBA teaching toolkit that we hope will save you time searching and filtering information. All items are in the public domain, so available to all beekeepers. Please feel free to pass relevant links onto those being taught. It isn’t an exhaustive list and the viewer is encouraged to seek information from other reliable sources.

Some material has been written specially for the toolkit, especially where there are gaps. Some is already in existence, perhaps unavailable in web searches, but still good, sound information. Some of the information we have listed isn’t normally taught, but has been assembled to help teachers and beekeepers increase their knowledge beyond the often one-dimensional “standard” teaching.
