Pollinator Awareness Training Available Online: Over the last year, the landscape regarding pollinator issues has changed dramatically and honey bees and other pollinators have moved to the forefront. In response, NPMA has developed a Pollinator Awareness Training module to give you a baseline of knowledge about pollinators and the issues surrounding them. The course is approximately 25 minutes to complete, plus additional time to finish the quiz. This training is free for members, and upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate.
