Beesuits are unwieldy at the best of times, but for children they
seem to present an utter labyrinth of clothing mayhem. It starts with
the pupils having boots on already to get to the apiary and then trying
to get the beesuits on without taking the boots off (has no-one told
them you put shoes on after trousers?!?). Then as the suits are large
and flappy, they tend to trail them over the floor of the shed or the
ground outside. With the muddy weather over the winter this has meant
that the inside legs of the beesuits as well as their exteriors have
become soiled. So, before the new season gears up and becomes hectic, I
thought I'd wash the beesuits. I added plenty of soda crystals to the
powder, because apparently that can get rid of the propolis easily.
Hung
the four suits up to dry. Luckily that was not in my bedroom. Can
imagine waking up at night and suddenly thinking four people have
invaded my room before realising it's only the suits. Can do without
that kind of interruption to my scant repose. Need to do better than
sleep fitfully, as a wise friend of mine would correctly remark.
