🎓 Beekeeping Education, Training and Career Paths

An interactive 3D career map of UK beekeeping education: follow a bee along the BBKA course pathway, apprenticeship route, or university research track from beginner to professional career.

Education & Learning Tools3DModerate60 FPS

A branching 3D career map for UK beekeepers: a shared starting course leads to three parallel routes — the BBKA exam ladder, an apprenticeship, and university/research study — each ending in real-world career outcomes.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

How UK beekeeping qualifications and experience accumulate over roughly eight years, and how three distinct routes (certification, mentorship, and academia) lead to different but related careers.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a route, then drag the "Years of study" slider (or enable Auto-advance) to fly a bee along the path, watching each milestone and its description update live.

💡 Did You Know?

The BBKA's Master Beekeeper award includes a microscopy module for diagnosing bee diseases under a microscope — a skill shared with the laboratory side of bee research careers.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 3D branching career map where a bee flies along a chosen route — the BBKA certificate ladder, an apprenticeship, or university research — from a shared beginners' course through milestones to a real career outcome.
