I'm very pleased. From 2 hive I got 2 full mediums and 2 full shallows. Best I have seen here in East Tn. First of May, we still have a strong flow going on. Very thankful for our blessings.
To make it better my 10 year old Grandson was very excited to help.

Congratulations.
It is always good to get the young ones involved.

I always enjoy the post when the kids are included.  Great to spend time with the kids, teaching the next generation of beekeepers.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

That?s great to hear. My 5 year old wants me to get him a suit.

Our 5-year-old got his suit already and will get his first hive this May still.

Yes, this young man needs a suit. He was is a veil and gloves. Nobody got stung. Seeing that big smile on his face as I pulled framess and brushed bees was priceless. We had a great day, this camping out in a tent thing... Tells me I'm  getting old.

In our kindergarten (understood, yes?) we started a bees-project. built a hive on friday with the kids, gonna bring in the bees soon. gonna get a couple jackets with veil and gloves so we get the kids closer to bees and nature in general.
