What you'll do for Alvéole as an Urban Beekeeper:

Maintain honey bee hives at client sites on a three-week service cycle, performing a range of tasks to support colony health throughout the beekeeping season.

Work for yourself: Do what you do best without the level of oversight and commitment that comes with joining a company as an employee.
Share the wonderful world of bees: Lead workshops and be an ambassador for pollinators and food systems, bringing your bees-for-brains expertise to an engaged city audience that's eager to learn
A global beekeeping network: Join our Hive-Mind! You'll be part of a world-wide network of beekeepers to review data, troubleshoot, and grow with

What you bring:

Hands-on beekeeping experience and strong knowledge of hive health and seasonal management
Availability to service hives on a recurring schedule throughout the season
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
Comfort using mobile and digital tools to log visits, tasks, and data (training provided)
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, especially for record-keeping and compliance

Comfort with the reality of beekeeping hazards (stings, heavy lifting, inclement weather, etc.)
