Physically heavy work for very low wages - Anonymous Employee- Former Employee Best Bees Employee Review

enthusiastic: the company really cares about bee health and advancements in practice and science. I like the collaborative and flexible approach to beekeeping and scheduling. Excited to for the new season to get the colonies as strong as possible

Under resourced at times, would be easier/more efficient with a van and larger space

The coffee was decent and I learned a lot about bees in the first few weeks.

- I spent months in meetings where everyone acknowledged our inventory was broken—like, everyone knew—but there was this wall of not saying it out loud where it mattered. - I raised specific problems about communication failures between teams, I brought these up multiple times, and every single response was some version of "we're a great team" instead of actually addressing what I'd written. - Any legitimate concern I flagged immediately made me the problem, like the only acceptable stance was to smile and pretend systems that weren't working were actually fine. - Same issues got announced as "solved" in all-hands meetings month after month, like we were all supposed to forget that the actual work never happened, but mentioning that would wreck the vibe. - I could see clearly how what people in charge were saying and what was actually true were two completely different things, and I learned fast that naming that gap was a career move not to make.
