Bill Brown asked: >At what age did you begin their > indentured servitude? Three is a good age to begin. I bought my son a beesuit for his third birthday and had him by my side all summer. What you will also need is a good box for the little girl to stand on so she'll be able to get a good view into the hive. Usually, the three-year-old beekeeper will lose interest in working the hives before you do, and find new sides to your apiary that you never thought of. /Mats Andersson, Stockholm Sweden ------------------------------------------------- WebMail från Tele2 http://www.tele2.se ------------------------------------------------- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
