I dont dress my boy, just poke him off to the side and tell him to hold
still. They must learn not to spin and twirl while moving the hives around.
One lovely day he failed to listen and got stung on the head. Got off pretty
easy considering I was moving a new split about 20 miles and then had walked
it down into a field just before he ran several circles around and banged
into the nuc.

He now has little interest in going to the bee yard but helps best he can
when pulling honey and follows bees around the house.  He is now 6.  If he
wants to go to the yard I just put on an extra jacket, tuck his pants into
his trousers and don a bee hat. No biggy, he cant really get "into" the hive
till he is taller.  I dont bother with gloves, I tell him to put them into
his jacket pockets to contain them. Ive not had a problem yet.
