OT today's Silly Question
Do you mean "honeybees" as in the kind that buzz and sting??
You've just given me the willies - I'm allergic to bee stings!! Hugs!! Connie "Julia in MN" wrote in message ...

We don't give gifts to anyone outside the immediate family, but my kids and grandkids always get a heifer project "gift" in addition to their other gifts. We figure it's good for them to learn that Christmas isn't only about their toys, etc. The last few years, we've given them the catalog and let them pick out their own gifts. I have also given them honeybees for Valentine's Day and rabbits and chicks for Easter -- occasions when I don't give other gifts.

OT today's Silly Question
Yes, that's what I mean. But the grandkids don't get the actual bees (or
rabbits or chicks). The critters go to someone, usually in a third world country, where they are used to produce income for needy families.
