Beginning Beekeeping

This is the entry level for the beginning beekeeper. In order to be tested and become a certified beekeeper, you must:

• Be a current NCSBA member.
• Pass a written test, which is administered through a local NCSBA chapter or given at one of the statewide conferences or testing events.
• Pass a practical test administered by a Certified Level Beekeeper or higher, as presented in the “Practical Examination” form. A minimum of four months beekeeping experience is needed prior to taking practical test.
• The Practical test will only be valid if given after the candidate successfully passes the Certified Level written exam.
