They are. Try it and see :-)

Seriously, the Zope Connection objects are moved in and out of
the ZODB all the time, so they must be pickleable. Indeed, when
you load them, they check whether to reestablish the connection
or not (most of them always, reconnect, the mxODBC Zope DA one
tries to restore the previously stored connect setting).

I think you are talking about the underlying physical connections.
These cannot be pickled, of course.
