Tiana is a 10 year old girl that I met in Bollywood Veggie during my regular roadshow to promote local honey bees conservation.  She was so interested in finding out how I am able to humanely removing a wild beehive.  She asked if she can get involve in one of my removal. After getting approval from her parents and understanding the risk involved.  we were at the site for a beehive removal.  It is the first time that I have such a young assistant to help me with a beehive removal.  I let her tried to touch the bees and leading some of the bees into the temporary container where the queen bee was allocated and transferred by me in advance.  Everything went so well and I had her shared her experience at the end of the removal.  It is really fun sharing with the youths so that they can appreciate and understand the importance in conserving what we have on earth!
