Looking for an Employer

[Michael Palmer]

Not sure if this the correct forum...

I have a young woman working for me. Grew up near London, Among other places...South Africa. She's a college student but has a keen interest in honey bees. She's been here since the middle of April. She's worked a bit here and there for other beekeepers, but she's really coming into it now. Very fast learner. Today was the second round of mating nucs. She did a great job. She worked with Kate on Monday...grafting day. Grafted two cell bar frames. Would be a good addition to any operation. Very pleasant person. And that's why I'm writing. She has to leave the States in the Autumn, and will be settling somewhere near Bristol, UK. Do any of you know a bee farmer in that area that would need help beginning in the spring of 2022?

Can make enquiries with someone I know but they're PT not FT.

PT, FT?

 

[Swarm]

Part time, full time?

 

[FAZERLOZ]

Part time work or full time work ….. I’m guessing

I’m sure somebody in the BFA will pick this up and pass it on. @jenkinsbrynmair ?

She needs to get in touch with Alex Ellis of the BFA, Contact the Association - Bee Farmers Association

I'm not aware of any beefarmers who employ staff very near to Bristol but there are several in the South West - Peter Little, Quince Honey Farm, Wainwrights Honey BS Honeybees, Maisemore are the ones who immediately come to mind.

We are based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire not far from Bristol and its highly likely we will need to take a bee keeper on next season.
