Today was Halloween and it was Calvin's first time trick-or-treating. He went as a bee and Andrew went as a beekeeper.
I went as Hawkeye because, like Hawkeye, I was completely unprepared for our mission and also felt like utter shit. That's because Calvin started daycare three mornings a week and, within only four sessions, became a bioweapon and hit me with the worst cold of my life.
Stuffy nose aside we had a nice walk around the block and Calvin made out like a bandit. Much like a real bee, he was very adapt at collecting sugar. (A note on this: granulated white sugar is the most like nectar so, if you're planning to feed bees, this should be your go-to.)
Calvin comes from a long line of beekeepers; my maternal grandfather was a beekeeper, himself. My mom would have carried on the tradition but unfortunately my brother is allergic to bees.
Anyways, Andrew made the costume himself and wrote up an Instructable, so that now, if you have need to create a tiny bee costume, you can!
