This qualification includes an introduction to beekeeping covering the equipment and tools used to keep bees, and the techniques used to subdue and handle them. It also covers recognising the nectar producing plants bees need, and the pests and diseases that can effect bees. The two remaining units build upon the introduction, the Theory unit further developing the learners scientific knowledge and understanding of the importance of bees to the wider agricultural economy and a Practice unit which provides hands on experience of working with bees.
