Somerset Beekeepers had a good year in 2018 with exam results and qualifications gained and I would like to congratulate everyone who successfully undertook modular and practical examinations in 2018. More people gained their Basic Beekeeping this year, congratulations to Bryan Goodman, Jasmine Lucas, Michael Gee, Janice Bramston, Louise Howell, Richard Lyons, Tabitha Sudworth, Rodney White, Nick Clarke, Gavin Stiggear, Alan Miles, Charles Sundquist, Tom Stanley, Sally Lye, and Sharon Humby. Congratulations also go to Diane Sleigh, Fred Clarke, Simon Mills, and Stewart Gould, who took Module exams. They all passed with Credit. Maggie North passed her General Husbandry, Simon Mills passed the Microscopy, and Bridget Knutson passed the Advanced Husbandry, making her a Master Beekeeper.
I’d also like to thank the Assessors for the Basic, and the invigilator for the modules, without you, these exams wouldn’t take place. You make my life so much easier by helping.
