I like having bees in our backyard. I love the honey we harvest. I like hearing others tell us how much better our honey is compared to the stuff they sell at the store! I don't however like working with the bees. Call me a little scared if you must, but those tiny insects have stingers and they can hurt me!
Out oldest son however is not too scared to go work the bees. That is just what he did one day with his dad. I was nervous for him, but like he told me-he will be fine (and he was!).
They were able to do a lot of work. My little boy is growing up. He learned a lot and I think he had a good time getting all suited up and feeling "old enough". He was so cute in all of his "bee gear".

We have been able to harvest about 50 pounds of honey so far. Hopefully we can get a little bit more from them before they shut down production to hibernate over the winter. I never thought I would have bees in my backyard. Heck I didn't even think I would have a backyard growing up. They are fun to learn about, and I like teaching others as well all about those little-bitty bugs that can do so much.
