I have been dying to buy a beehive for Mrs. Bee... for all the obvious reasons. How great would it be if Bee could give her friends a jar of her own honey?

I've been doing research though, and 4H recommends that kids be at least 5 before they start raising a beehive. And beekeeper suits don't come in sizes smaller than age 4. So that dream is on hold for now.

5 seems kind of young though to be working with bees, even under supervision. What do you think: how old should a kid be before they can help you raise a beehive?
