To whom it may concern:

I am very anxious to pursue bee keeping as a career. In November of 2007-January 2008, I flew to Australia and had the opportunity to tour a few urban and commercial bee keeping apiaries in New South Wales and Queensland. I was very impressed with the skill and enthusiasm at the apiaries and gained very useful knowledge and insight into beekeeping.

I have experience with a neighbor's hives and in a week will assist in extracting the honey this season. Last year, I decided that I wanted a job that made a difference or at least a positive impact on the environment such as bee keeping. If you need a helper that is educated, dependable, hard working, and eager to learn the operation then I just might be that person to fill any available positions. Willing to travel (have a current passport), work seasonal, temporary, full time or relocate for the right to learn the trade. Available immediately.

I have attached my resume for your review. I plan on following opportunities that allow me to gain more experience and knowledge about bees.

Thank you for reviewing my resume. I hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,
D. Castner Carr

Some say every third bite of our food is dependent upon honey bees.
