Disabled Beekeeper In Need of Helper

Centreville VA

Description

Hello! I am a new beekeeper and a Master Naturalist who has acquired my first hive. I am very excited! I have an excellent community of knowledgeable friends who have taught me much and mentored me in classes. However, I am disabled and use a wheelchair and therefore I cannot lift the frames, and I need help with hive inspections. This job requires coming to my house once a month and conducting an inspection with me as well as treating the hive as needed for optimum health of the bees. The personnel must bring their own bee suit and have some experience with bees. Of course, you must not be afraid of bees or allergic to stings. I have 3 dogs, too, so you must be okay with dogs. The pay is $40 per visit, OR $25 per visit and 25% of the honey (but you must use my label). If you have an alternative offer for this service, I am negotiable. This could be a lot of fun and a great way to get into beekeeping if you are interested but don't have a hive yet yourself. Serious inquiries only. Thanks for your interest!
