The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence:
|
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is checked for serviceability and worn and used correctly. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards associated with collecting bee swarms are identified and action is taken to deal with them effectively. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Any site quarantine in effect or other biosecurity protocols are observed. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Risks associated with collecting a swarm of honey bees are identified and actions are taken to minimise likelihood and consequences of risks. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Collect a swarm of honey bees
|
|
Dry drawn frames are placed in hive box to be used for collected swarm to ensure collected bees remain in new hive box. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Swarm is caught by shaking it into an empty box. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Boxed swarm is moved to new location after confirming that whole swarm has been collected. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Swarm is requeened. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Manage swarming behaviour in a honey bee colony
|
|
Honey bee colony is monitored for signs that swarming may occur. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Risks associated with handling bees that are likely to swarm are identified and actions are taken to minimise likelihood and consequences of risks. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Where swarming appears likely to occur, range of control options is considered and best option is selected and implemented. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Colony is monitored to ensure that swarming behaviour has been controlled and if necessary further control options are implemented. Completed |
