I set up a booth at a local bookstore a few weeks ago that included an empty
hive, a super full of honey, block of wax, tools, smoker, etc and a 1 frame
observation hive. It was as fun for the crowds as it was for me! Playing
find the queen kept the kids busy. Folks enjoyed seeing what was in those
funny white boxes, I believe they were less afraid of bees afterwards.
