Where can I buy a starter………?

bee colony in the philippines? I plan to make beekeeping a hobby. And can you tell where can I buy proper equipment too?

My last riddle…?

A boy is collecting honey from a beehive on his farm. He accidentally breaks the cork and all the honey starts falling into his bucket. He runs back home to get a spare cork, and when he returns, he finds every drop of honey has fallen into the bucket. He knows he has to put some honey back or the bees will die. If he puts too much, he might drown the queen. He has to replace exactly 4 cups of honey into the beehive. He searches his equipment, and can only find a drinking glass that holds 3 cups, and a small pan that can hold 5 cups. How can the boy save the hive?

(anti-googled, but ultra-super-bonus Hal Points if you also know the movie this is from!)
Oops, forgot one detail: he has to pour it all in at the same time.

If nobody gets it i’ll give the points to the 2-cups-twice answer.
“anti-googled” means I changed the situation and nouns so nobody can just plug it into google to get the answer.

I see the right answer but nobody has the movie yet. :)
