USGS research volunteer
July - December 2019 • Hesperia, CA
What I liked
The research was on how air pollution was affecting honeybees ability to find food sources. I enjoyed learning about bees as well as working with the weather station.
What I wish was different
I would have liked using the weather station more as we were training the bees.
Advice
I would recommend that people realize this is a field research and come prepared to work outside in the elements as well as realize that it takes more time to set up and train than you think and that less time is spent on actual test. You will get dirty and it does require you to work those in charge should not have to babysit you and tell you constantly what to do take notes if you need to.
