WARNING
Bees will sting to protect thier hive and colony.  If they feel there is a threat, they will use all their power to defend it.  
  If a bee lands on you, DON'T PANIC!  Remain calm, let it check you out, and it will eventually leave.  Don't smash the bee either.  It puts off a sent that alerts the other bees of danger and then they get mad. 
  If you are attached by numbers of bees, get away and jump in a lake.  Literally!  They are helpless in water.  Don't have a lake?  Use a garden hose and soak yourself and spray water all around over you. 
  If you are stung:  Do not use pliers or your fingers to pull it out!  This will only squeeze the toxin into your skin more.  You need to use a sharp knife, gently catch the edge of the stinger (don't push too hard or you will cut it off leaving it in you), then lift the stinger out with the knife.  If you are stung multiple times seek medical help imeediatly! 
Swarms
  Sometimes you may have a swarm of bees land in your property.  Most of the time they will land on a tree branch or a nook of somekind.  Most swarms will not bother you.  They are looking for a new home and have just landed there to 'scout' the area for a new home.  Sometimes that becomes thier new home.  It is best to contact a local bee keeper to come remove them for you.  Often times they will remove them at no cost to you. 
  Don't try to use a "spray" to kill them.  There are soo many bees in a swarm, it will just make them mad and then they will attack.

Honey
Weston Family Farms also has 31 years of experience working with the honey bee.

The surrounding area has a wide variety of wild flowers, sage, and choke cherries.  This produces a nice, rich flavored honey.  

We sell the extra honey that we produce in 1.5 lb bears, 3 lb jugs, and 5 lb jugs.  It is 100% pure Grade A honey with no water or additives added.  Please e-mail us and get on our waiting list for this upcoming honey season.  If you would like a larger size container please let us know.  We love to keep our customers happy!

Honey is an excellent sweetener!  Plus it will never spoil if stored correctly.  Even when it crystalizes it can be melted down and it will be good as new.  It is important to know when melting it down to not exceed 150 deg. F.  Above that temp it will start to kill the natural enzymes that preserve the honey.   

Even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.

If you want a natural remedy for about anything a little honey and cinnamon will go a long way!  The Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:
Colds:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder daily for three days.  This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.
Gas:
According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.
Indigestion:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals. 
Influenza:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient fom flu.
Longevity:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age.  Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea.  Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day.
Pimples:
Three tbs of honey and one tsp of cinnamon powder pates.  Apply this past on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water.  If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
Skin Infections:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water.  If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person.  Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
