Do your schools have science fairs?

  Preparing an entry on bees, and searching out the information and
materials to prepare their own presentation, might spark a deeper interest.

  My own beekeeping began with me and my then high school age son working
together.  I ordered one 2 lb package of bees, a friend donated some used
equipment for one colony and my son went to the school library and brought
home an ancient copy of "The Hive and The Honey Bee"

  We followed the pages of the book as the season progressed, and ended with
over 100 pounds of honey, that first year.

  Very rewarding , and such a good empathy with my somewhat rebellious
teenager.

  Pluses all round!

  PS I got only one beesting, and he none, that first summer
