Beekeeping Educator & Presenter

Help people fall in love with bees.

We’re looking for an engaging, confident presenter who can bring the world of bees to life for events across the Tampa / Land O’ Lakes area.

This is not a typical beekeeping role. It’s part educator, part storyteller, part ambassador.

If you’ve ever found yourself naturally “teaching the room,” simplifying complex ideas, or captivating a group with your energy—you’ll likely thrive here.

About Bees for Buildings

Bees for Buildings partners with companies, schools, and organizations to place and maintain honeybee hives on their properties—creating healthier ecosystems, engaging communities, and supporting pollinators.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver live, interactive presentations about bees, pollination, and sustainability
• Engage audiences ranging from children to adults (schools, events, community groups)
• Represent our mission with energy, professionalism, and authenticity
• Answer questions and adapt your delivery based on audience needs
• Occasionally assist with basic hive demonstrations or educational setups

• Naturally engaging—people pay attention when you talk
• Reliable, professional, and self-directed
• Based in or near Tampa / Land O’ Lakes, FL

Strongly preferred:

• Experience teaching, presenting, or leading groups (educator, trainer, guide, etc.)
• Passion for bees, sustainability, agriculture, or environmental science
• Hands-on beekeeping experience or willingness to learn quickly
• Background in education, environmental programs, or similar
