where you can do it on-line.
Definitely do it before April 1 to save the admin the chore of
weeding you out of the subscriber list.
We're Looking for another Volunteer to answer swarm
calls:
Hey, if you love saving the bees, and have free time
this spring, handling swarm calls is a good way to do it.
It's actually kinda fun!
It's fulfilling to hook up callers with swarm collectors. i.e. it's
a great example of community-service.
It may seem daunting, but the rest of the volunteers came up to
speed pretty quickly.
This job suits members who have more freedom during the day than
full-time workers have.
part-time, flex schedule, student, retired, etc.
If you're interested in finding out what's involved, contact me off
line. five ten - for oh seven - ll46
From mid March, through April, most of the calls are vanilla. If
you've collected a couple of swarms
you'll pretty much know how to handle a call.
There's plenty of back-up from the experienced volunteers too.
