I remember both. When we first moved to NM, we were pretty poor for a while and on a week-end, if we had enough gas, we would ride out to Stuckey's and buy a candy bar. Several years after that, we headed for the UP for vacation and to visit family. We stopped at a Nickerson's Farm and were outside looking at the bees that were inside the plexiglass and from somewhere, a bee stung my middle daughter. We went into the restaurant and when the waitress came to take our order, I asked for some baking soda to make a paste to take the sting out . She got all huffy and told me that honey bees do not sting and especially 'their" bees. I told her, "look, I am not looking to sue anyone, I just need to stop the pain this child is in". She finally went off and came back with the soda, so all ended well and the meal was pretty good too, if I remember correctly.
