IRISH BEEKEEPERS’ ASSOCIATION CLG
SUGGESTED READING LIST FOR THE SENIOR BEEKEEPING EXAMINATION
This reading list which also includes the similar list for the Intermediate Beekeeping Examination should be consulted in conjunction with the Senior 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 a subject, one should read as widely as possible and also consult on-line beekeeping material.
