Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to inspect a honey bee colony for indicators of disease or evidence of pests, and take appropriate follow-up action.
The unit applies to beekeepers who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work. They use discretion and judgement in the selection, allocation and use of available resources.
State and territory legislation, regulations and local government by-laws apply in some jurisdictions to beehive ownership, compliance with biosecurity codes of practice and notifiable pests and diseases.
