i doubt there is a quiz. What i would say is all new beeks need to know what is right inside the hive and read about diseases. If you notice there is something not right and you're not sure what it is, then call a local experianced beekeeper.
I had a experience in 2010 when i got a call from a newbie about a swarm, i went around and asked if i could look at the hive to see if there were any q cells, once i opened it up, i eased out the first frame and closed the hive straight away. the newbie thought all was ok however the hive had a heavy infection of EFB. So i showed him around my hives once he cleaned his kit and taught him what is normal. Only experience will teach you about diseases and pest.

Beebase and nbu website has great pics on disease recognition. Look for FERA leaflets to download.

Is it possible to print off all the quizzes as they would be great for a winter apiary meeting instead of a speaker sometimes... or are they subject to copyright?? People learn so much better from a quiz, I think- shows up the gaps!

I should be able to put the questions and answers into a pdf to send members who want them.
Give me a nudge in a week if I have not done it Heather.
