Advanced Level Modules for Journeyman Advancement

Advanced Beekeeper Modules

The following modules are a requirement for the Journeyman Beekeeper level in the Midwest Master Beekeeper Program. Be sure to read and study all of the information given before taking the quiz. A minimum of 80% is required to pass each quiz. Quizzes can be taken numerous times in order to achieve a passing grade. The training and quiz menu items link directly to material found at the Texas A&M and University of Florida Master Beekeeping courses. Most of these questions will also pertain to Midwest honeybee beekeeping and are therefore provided to you as another tool for learning. We will update these guides as necessary and are working towards having our own guides soon.
