We are looking to add to our team! 

 

World Honey Market is family owned and operated since 2007.

Your job as a beekeeper will be to keep hives productive and healthy to help farmers across the country with their pollination needs. You will be tasked with checking the general health of the hive, inspecting for mites, and making sure there is ample food for our bees. The hours for this position are variable and can be longer depending on the time of the year. 

 

Your work will put you out in the elements for most of your shifts. Unfortunately, being around bees, you are also bound to get stung. Shifts usually last between 10-12 hours, but we work until the job is done.

 

People who have previous queen bee rearing and forklift experience will be given priority. Still, if you do not have any experience with these areas, we are eager to train and share our passion and knowledge with you. A positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a strong desire to work hard are the main requirements for this position.
