What you need:

·         A bee suit with hood and long gloves

·         A bee keeper or other adult

·         A pair of wellies

·         A smoke gun

 

 

Safety Tips:

·         Don’t be scared

·         Move around slowly

·         If the bees rest on you don’t flap your arms or they will fly away

 

 

1.      First, stand quietly outside the apiary without making any loud noises.

2.      Next, sit carefully on the log and take off your shoes.

3.      After, step slowly into your bee suit.

4.      Then pull your suit up and put your arm into the sleeve.

5.      Next you need to put your long gloves on and make sure that they are on top of your sleeves.

6.      Then pull your hood up and zip it up, but make sure your hair is out of your face and in the hood.

7.      Put your wellie boots on and wait for an adult to come.

8.      When you enter the apiary, you need to put your hands behind your back so the bees don’t get scared.

9.      After you come out make sure you have no bees on you.
