I completed the first two of three classes in the UofM program and thought the process and information, invaluable. The dialog with other students, was worth it. On the edge of my seat waiting for the final class to become available.
I had some sick and dying bees. I looked at the pollen they were bringing in under a microscope. Gathered pollen from several local plants, created a database of sorts. It was buckeye. Hand feed a few twitching bees 50/50 sugar water for 10-15 minutes. Twitching stopped, after 60 minutes they all calmed and drank up the syrup and flew away.
Feed all hives emergency syrup to dilute Buckeye and massive die off almost completely stopped.
I probably wouldn't have approach my problem this way if it hadn't been for the classes. It is good to be seriously focused and learning.

What happens after a person achieves such status? What do these
qualifications allow them to do a non certified beekeeper couldn't?
While I understand that education on bees is valuable and very interesting,
I have never understood why I should spend the time and effort becoming a
master beekeeper...
I don't mean to sound pessimistic but I have never been given an answer
other than its something to pat yourself on the back about and point to in
a power point slide...
