Hi can any one help me.....I'm looking for a book that seems to have gone out of print.

Thank-you all

you have study notes from 2011 for all modules and basic exam. I have put a space before mbbka that needs to be removed.

if you are taking module 1 you will find ted hoopers book more readable and more reliable as Yates tends to be a bit parochial and their own veiws and you need to see the wood from the trees

hooper plus the midbuck sheets should be ok, but again a few mistakes, one version has WBC frame size wrong

by the time you do module 2 the new yates revision wil be out (/September)

 

[Andy Duff]

Just answer matchsticks to every question, that should get you 80%.

Quite so. And some plain wrong. Every single thing about the modules needs checking and cross-checking. Including those online sheets.

Most BKA's have lots in their libraries and shops. Do ask around before you buy one - I donated mine to our local library, but may regret it after looking at eBay!

Someone has twigged that it is out of print at the moment

£104!!

MuswellMetro and susbees are right in what they say.

IMHO the books are an acquired taste, but still cover most of the syllabus in their own inimitable way and I am hanging on to the other ones in the series

It has not been available since I started looking for it in September. I am told it is expected in March as it is beeing rewritten

Roger Patterson bringing out a book - more smoked knickers coming up!!

 

[Poly Hive]

How do you smoke nicks Heather?

PH

 

[Heather]

RP insists that the smoker MUST be kept between knees when not in use... OK if 6' tall - all little Wis. Green members must be kippered. And the asthmatics!!

 

[Poly Hive]

LOL

Cough...

[bobster]

Interesting, I keep my smoker in the garage when not in use. I'll try it between my knees and see if that helps my beekeeping.

There's a few strange ideas at Wisborough Green - spark damaged suits being the outcome of this little gem!

I think they also insist on castellations in the brood chamber - surely that makes inspection tricky?

you don't seriously expect somebody to pay 4 times the price for it when it will be out of date in March
