The girls in their new bee suits
They love the idea of being junior beekeepers and rushed home from school to try their new suits on. Maayan, realizing that this white armor was meant to protect her from harm, quickly lost interest in visiting the bees. In fact, she complained that the wrist elastic was too tight and started to cry. We understood the theatrics, reasoned with her and told her that she did not have a choice, she was going to visit the bees but she did not have to stand very close. Zoe had a violin lesson so she wasn’t able to go. Maayan wimpered all the way to the car but when we arrived she was enthusiastic, came close and even started playing with a bee or two with the hive tool. I had to tell her to be a little more gentle. She lost all fear (not good) and is really looking forward to going back again.
