Beekeeper [Stockton, CA]

A successful pollination season is built in the field, one hive at a time, through careful inspections and precise monitoring.

We are looking for a Beekeeper to support the implementation of our pollination program by helping ensure the delivery of high-quality hives to farms and managing the application of technologies designed to improve pollination.

This is an on-call position. The primary responsibilities are to audit hives and feed them using our technologies. Hives must be audited both before and after the almond pollination season.

Availability Requirements:

• Approximately 2 weeks per month from early January through March.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct hive audits to assess hive quality.

• Monitor and report on hive quality throughout the pollination season.

• Feed hives using our technologies, ensuring careful and precise application.

• Maintain productive, healthy hives to meet pollination requirements.

• Inspect hives for mites and other pests or diseases.

• Repair damaged hives and assemble new hives.

• Perform other assigned duties as needed.

Work Environment:

Work takes place outdoors in varying weather conditions, with daytime shifts lasting 6–16 hours and occasional nighttime work. The role requires standing or walking for extended periods and working with bees while wearing appropriate protective equipment. Candidates must be comfortable handling bees and understand that bee stings may occur.

Beeflow is a biotechnology company that uses science and technology to improve agricultural pollination and increase crop yields.

We develop pollination programs for growers by combining expertise in pollination, bee biology, and chemical ecology with proprietary technologies, including molecules that help train bees and diets designed to strengthen their immune systems.

This enables growers to achieve higher yields while using fewer resources.
