That's a good looking pair of beekeepers you have Carol Dee. :) What a great time with grampa, being taught about honeybees. Is that your oldest grandson?

Looks like a good honey year?

That is Grandson #2 He is 7 and full of questions. Very interested and not at all afraid. Older brother is 10 and much more timid around the bees.

Probably, reasonable for both boys either way, given ..

. the careful outfitting grandparents provided :) and ..

. the reaction a human body can have to bee stings.

That little boy is learning so much at an early age too! Lucky little guy.

Is he wearing an adult size bee suit? Probably don't make them in children's sizes. Is it possible to make one? You sew so well Carol.

@Nyboy and @catjac1975 No way can the bees get to him in the suit. He is around them without cover up too. But this time they where handling the hives and frames. Note the smoker. he did a good job getting it where it calmed the bees for Papa to work. He as very helpful.
