Hey Andrew,
I started a beehive this year and it was a direct result of Uncle Milton's Ant Farm from back in the day.
Ants are cool but bees are cooler.
In fact, I got an observation hive (plexiglass) because I'm amazed how God made them, their different jobs, etc.
I had to open it today to check on them.
Point being is it can grow into a greater love for God in His work in creation.
BTW, they have this cool transparent blue gel instead of sand so you can see all the way through the panes in ant farms now.
Adios
Now I see Sebs post... my mistake.
