You may have a favorite, but you can NEVER have too many hive tools!

Hmmmm, what should I order right during christmas week when I'm the most broke! I do need a beesuit for my 5 year old granddaughter. First off, is there anyone out there that may have a juvenile beesuit about a size 8?

Don't buy an 8 unless he wears a 4. If he wears and 8, buy a 12.If it fits now, he can only wear it one season.

Thanks for the sizing info Iddee

If you are in or have a local bee club near you ask around, most times the kids suits get passed around from family to family.

Good Idea!

I have one and it's been 15 years since the youngest has used it. although she did squeeze in to it in august to see if she could. She got it on but could not move and required assistance getting back out of it. It gets used each year in the beekeeping display at the local fair. And is used by the occasional young ones that are interested in bees. since my girls were about 8 they have not bothered with suits and veils when they are with me. they stay calm and the bees ignore them for the most part.

It's the "for the most part" that has my son not interested anymore. :(
Stung once, and he doesn't seem to be able to get past it.

So you should still buy the hive tool just to get other free. BOGO right ladies prerequisite for sales?

riverbee · « **Reply #18 on:** October 10, 2014, 10:33:25 am »

............i'll buy the hive tool and give the extra to jen.......

Jen · « **Reply #19 on:** October 10, 2014, 01:14:17 pm »

How about this

I buy my own hive tool and get an extra free
I only have one hive tool, then I would have three
Or, Riv can also buy a hive tool or more
lend the extra to me, then I would have four
