My daughter and I would do the same w/ a hive of unpedigreed bees (Italians,
        mainly) in San Antonio a few years ago.  I'd be real careful of that now in
        that part of the US (AHB and all).  The hardest thing to teach her was that
        you can't pet bees quite the same way we did our dog.  I'm getting back into

Ah, but you <can> pet bumblebees - sometimes, if they will hold still.
