pollen from honey bees, observing and collecting native bees, and
measuring pollination on pumpkins and winter squash on 20 farms
across Connecticut. Applicants must not be allergic to bees and be
prepared to work early in the morning (7 AM) in locations around the
state. Experience with honey bees is helpful.
These seasonal positions are available from May 1 through October 31,
2012 , Monday through Friday, 35 hours per week, with a salary of $10/hour.
