Plant list

The NDB plant list, revised January 2015

Plants are typically selected from this list for the NDB Practical Examination. However, this list is provided as a guide only; any plant useful or significant to bees could be included. It should be noted that the botany section of the NDB exam is not concerned exclusively with plant identification; aspects of pollen morphology, nectar presentation, preferred habitat and particular special features may also feature.
