Daddy's New Bee Suit

I have been interested in beekeeping for a couple years now, and have recently participated in a bee keeping class through our county beekeepers association. As part of the class we have had a couple field days where we have opened live bee hives, requiring us to purchase basic protective gear. I will also be helping maintain a couple hives at a local monastery throughout the coming year, so it will be quite an adventure. No stings yet! :)

Here are some pics of Kieran and Daddy checking out his new bee suit.

Kieran in the second photo sums up my thoughts *exactly*.
