Job diary: I've been a beekeeper for 4 decades, co-founded an urban bee non-profit, and now I work at a hotel connecting the community through beekeeping (by MollyOBrien1996)
Julia Common, 66, started her beekeeping career four decades ago working at The University of Manitoba, where she first fell in love with honeybees; her bee-related education includes earning her BSc & MSc agriculture, and Bee Master and BCHPA instructor certifications.
She's currently working on research to better understand how environmental factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic impact the bee population and honey.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesI took one course about bees and absolutely fell in love with beekeeping.
They are constantly teaching us more and more about their world and the environment we share with them. Therefore, I suspect I will never be an "expert" beekeeper, but, by this stage in the game, I have had plenty of humbling experiences. My respect for these wondrous creatures grows daily. The bees are on a growth cycle that peaks mid summer, and a beekeeper needs to keep ahead of the colony growth so that they do not swarm which is especially important in the crowded city.
We have all sorts of devices that we use to keep them safe and enclosed when we bring them into the hotel. We take them inside the property, up in the elevators, through the spa — it's quite a trek up to the roof out by the swimming pool, where we keep our bees and guests can look down onto them.
