My suggestion is:  DON'T!  I have too much lawyer in me to recommend that
anyone accept the risk that the recipient of his well-meaning gift of bees
might have an extremely adverse reaction to bee venom.  Perhaps MS patients,
who have messed-up immune systems to begin with, are more likely than others
to react catastrophically.
