Scruffy bee 82 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I am doing it now lots of reading to be done but in saying that its not that bad. I guess it depends on weather you have done studies before. It helps you build up knowledge. I would recommend joining a club, going along to there spring beekeeping course and finding a mentor to show you there hives as well . This wil give you practical experience too and meeting people. I am enjoying the course and gald I did it. good luck Link to post Share on other sites
Kirsty 38 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Im just on my last paper & deeply disappointed with the whole thing. Beyond frustration reading such long out of date information & having to reiterate it in assignments which is just plain pointless. I expected an academic organisation to be at least up to date with the info / laws / regulations they want students to learn. My advice: Find a local course / join your local beeclub for practical learning & advice / get your hands on the Practical Beekeeping NZ book & youll be way more uptodate than what Telford will give you. The only reason ive stuck at it till the end is because i hate quitting something once ive started. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 39 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thought it was meant to be a good in depth course / how out of date is it anyone else think the same? ? Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffy bee 82 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 The course is being updated, from what we have done to make it my revalant when I spoke to them last. Call them up and ask if you have concerns. Everyone has a different opinion. But bees are bees and the basics dont change that much. Link to post Share on other sites
