I scored a 31/50 for a new beekeeper I think that is pretty good.  Considering I read a lot of bee books.

Tried twice.  Got a 36 both times.  Didn't miss the same questions twice.

Thank you for this test.  I am an absolute novice, new to this site and have never worked with a bee yet.
The test will help a lot.
I scored a 22
Thanks again.

40 out of 50............. :) like some other posts....thought the full frame would be heavier, had no idea on the 2002 color...heck, don't even know what they are talking about on that one!!!  Is it a color for a warning sign?????

The color has to do with what year the queen was raised.

I would hate to be inadequate! I am inadequate in so many other ways.

30/50 - not too bad :-\
I've chosen understanding over knowledge-since knowledge is all about knowing where to find facts and understanding is knowing how to manipulate knowledge...I've also chosen knowledge over beliefs!! We all need to..

I took the test twice 2 days apart. I scored a 22/50 at first but today I scored a 28/50, an Adequate beekeeper.
Between the two scores I read a website with information and the book Fruitless Fall by Rowan Jacobson. It was very informative on getting me up to date on the current problems we're having with bees and the other struggling pollinators.

The test seems to be a good general guide on knowledge.
