Ready to take the first step on the long journey to becoming a master beekeeper? If you have at least one year of practical beekeeping experience, you are eligible to sit for the UGA Certified Beekeeper examination. The Certified Beekeeper test has two parts: a written exam and a practical test. The practical test includes being able to:
• Describe the parts of a beehive;
• Light and properly use a smoker;
• Recognize the various stages of brood, different castes of bees, and find or at least describe the queen;
• Differentiate between brood, pollen, capped honey;
• Recognize common diseases and disorders;
• Recognize propolis and describe its functions; and
