This is a private project that I started 7 years ago, where my focus is on the conservation of native stingless bees and environmental education: I receive visits from schools and volunteers. Currently I care for approximately 100 hives. Regarding the volunteers' days, there are five, with five hours per day; the days off are taken after having fulfilled the 25 hours of weekly service.

Help with some activities related to caring for stingless bees (not mandatory, only if you are interested in learning) and mainly gardening, yard maintenance, and the vegetable garden. It is not a requirement to have experience to participate in volunteering. If you have artistic skills such as murals, painting, etc., you are also very welcome.
It is suggested to do the volunteering hours in the morning, starting at 7:00 or 8:00, but you can choose to do them in the afternoon if you prefer.
Maximum arrival time to the space is until 8:00 PM.\nNot allowed:\n1- Consumption of meat, eggs, dairy products, genetically modified foods, and soft drinks.\n2- Use of mobile phones during activities.\n3- Consumption of any type of illicit substance and even packaged cigarettes. For those who smoke natural tobacco/pipe tobacco, they may do so in the yard away from the bees.\n\nOn days when you go out for a walk, after volunteering hours or on days off, the latest time to return to the space is by 8:00 PM.\n\nRooms, bathrooms and the kitchen are handed over to volunteers in perfect working order, cleanliness and hygiene. The volunteer must daily maintain the spaces and utensils used and on the day of departure return those spaces, utensils and bedding in the same condition as they received them.\n\nThe space includes a private bedroom separated from the house as well as a dry bathroom for volunteers’ use.\n\nThe room is equipped with a bed, a mattress in good condition, sheets, a blanket and a wardrobe. Towels are not provided.
