My son moved up to scouts , and I was asked to do a talk on bees
This generated some interest and we held an info session at my hives.
9 boys and parents arrived and 3 leaders. Much more than I expected
Two of my mentors also came to help me. Rob and Wally. Neither bothered with a bee suit , but I donned all my gear to show everyone what it looked like. We showed the boys how to light the smoker and opened up one hive , puling frames and showing brood , eggs, larvae and new bees. Did not spot the queen but also did not try too hard either.
Lots of great questions
