My Daughter is 4 years old and wanted a bee colony like her Dad.  So I made up a little nuc for her.  She is so excited to see her little nuc body next to the bigger colonies.  She says "it's small, like me".

Question, were can I find a beesuit for a 4 year old.  I am not good at sewing.  I live in Northern Ontario, Canada so it would be good if the vendor was in Canada, due to duties going across the border.  However, a good vendor in the States would be good if I can't locate one in Canada.

Cheers,

www.beeworkds.com is the best place and just happens to be in Canada... they will make you whatever you like last I checked with them.

I ordered one for my 4 year old son from a seller on Ebay.  A really nice little suit for him, with a bit of room to grow, looks just like my suit.  The seller is in England, but the item arrived to the States quickly enough, though I know things can get stuck in Canadian customs limbo for a while...

I got a suit for my 3 year old last summer on Ebay also.  It is twice the size of him.  I just had him out there with a veil and one of his pull over jackets (He likes his Wall-E jacket for the bees).   I got him size small gloves and he does the best he can.  Well, he tries to help to much.   And I won't let him use the smoker yet.  He should grow into the bee suit one day unless he still believes that he is bullet proof at that age also.

Walter Kelly sews stuff on site and they are quite friendly folks.

I bought my son's suit at Brushy Mountain but Dadant also sells a child's size suit.

I ordered a suit for my 4 yr old a couple of years ago from Bushy Mountain.  It's fabulous & still fits him at almost 6 years! Sorry I don't have a web site but if you google it it'l pop up!  FG

My daughter is 5 and uses one from Dadant.  It is huge!  But works fine.  I roll up the sleeves & legs & she uses tall rubber boots & gloves.  She hasn't gotten stung...yet!
