New exam sylabusses (sorry) have been published by the BBKA here.
https://www.bbka.org.uk/modules
I assume having glanced through the 7 modules of 1 - 8 (!) that the additional topics are in bold.
It's very easy to be critical, however to promote discussion here's a couple of comments
1) For module 1 section 1.1 and 1.2, "name the advantages and disadvantages of polystyrene hives compared to wooden ones" might be more relevant rather than a history topic.
2) I have always thought that a topic about dealing with packaged bees (both supplying and receiving) would make sense as it's a good way of supplying bees without the worry of comb diseases.

May your bees read the same books as you do.
