Bee a part of supporting the Apiculture industry by gaining the skills and knowledge to rear queen bees.
Designed to enable you to rear queen bees for a commercial operation or so you may operate your own queen-rearing business, this programme will teach you to work independently and how to supervise others.
Apiculture is one of New Zealand's fastest-growing industries, and graduates of this programme will be well-received by industry as it will benefit from having a supply of quality queen bees to ensure genetic diversification to establish and restock existing and new hives.
In addition, the wider community and Aotearoa will benefit from having a supply of queens bees to enable new or restocked hives to operate effectively and contribute to the supply of bees for pollination, which ensures the ongoing collection of food sources.
NMIT is the only tertiary provider of this industry-recognised training pathway in
Te Tauihu, the Top of the South Island.
