Enjoy & take lots of pictures...

My daughter was about 10 when we started our beekeeping and we've had
some great times checking the bees & occasionally running away, arms
waving wildly in the air. Now at 15, her interest in hanging out with
dad in the bee yard isn't quite as keen, but when her school buddies see
pictures of her suited up holding a frame full of bees, they are awed,
at least I *think* that's what they mean when they say 'whoa that's
awwwsome, dude'. Then again, they might be referring to the picture next
to it where she is terminating a B34 with her G29...
