IRISH BEEKEEPERS’ ASSOCIATION CLG      
SUGGESTED READING LIST FOR THE INTERMEDIATE BEEKEEPING EXAMINATION
The following reading list should be consulted in conjunction with the  Intermediate Syllabus and the on-site list of examination questions taken from previous examination papers.   The texts are among the best available and the latest edition should be studied. Of course there will be duplication in the subject matter covered by the various texts and it is left to the reader which texts to study but as always when one is endeavouring to master any new subject, one should read as widely as possible and also consult on-line beekeeping material.
