      Worst thing is when things don’t work and you have to deliver bad news . You have to be optimistic though and there’s usually reason as to why it didn’t work – its just finding the reason – that’s the good part , the finding !!

      best thing: witness bee colonies are thriving
      worst thing: people being afraid of bees because, most of the times, they have misconceptions about bee stings and behaviour

      I love that my job is a little bit unusual – there are very few people who do what I do, so it’s quite exciting to think you’re one of the only people (if not the only person!) who does it. I also really like making a difference in people’s lives.

      The hardest part is that the job can be very sad. I work a lot with death, and it’s very sad to go to disasters and hospitals and mortuaries. But it’s good to know you are helping families to identify their loved ones!
