My name is Karen Cooper.  I interview people about their jobs for an
educational CD-ROM called Career Cruising; it's a career guide for students
to learn about various careers
from the real people who are in them.  And I am desperately looking for a
bee keeper to interview and was hoping you could refer me to one, preferably
in
Chicago or the United States.  For some reason, I have had the hardest time
finding a professional bee keeper with at least three years experience.  If
you know one or more people in the industry who would be interested in
talking with me, I would greatly appreciate any and all referrals.
 
There are two parts to the process.  One part is a questionnaire that I can
send to
the interviewee, and he/she can fill out at the his/her leisure; it will
probably take 30 mins or
so.  And then there is an in-person interview where I will video tape the
last three answers on the questionnaire: what the bee keeper likes about the
job, what
he/she dislikes, and any advice he/she had for someone entering bee keeping.
 
The interview can take place the at the interviewee's convenience, in two
weeks or two months.
 
You are welcome to call me, 773-832-1501, or email me, at

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
Sincerely,
Karen E. Cooper
