Ag Progress Spins
(Conllnuad from Pago B 4)
Melissa and her parents Monica
and Jerry have 150 colonies of
bees that they keep on farms in
Berks County and in Florida.
Melissa travels to Florida four
times a year to extract honey from
the Florida hives. They extract
clover, orange blossom, wildflow
er, and buckwheat honey flavors.
Clover is Melissa’s favorite.
She’s quite adept at honey
extraction and knows how to exa
mine laying patterns to see if the
queen bee is getting too old or too
lazy to do her job.
On one occasion, Melissa was
stung 20 times. But she isn’t com
plaining. She thinks the venom
from stings is actually healthy.
"It’s a wonder drug,” she said as
she told about her father and others
who have arthritis. They purpose
fully get stung once a week to alle
viate the pain caused by arthritis.
Melissa, herself, is a runner. She
claims that after being stung sever
al times, she feels more energetic
and stronger and can “really run.”
As Honey Queen, Melissa is
delighted to talk to the public about
the honey industry. She answered
questions from Ag Progress visi
tors while watching bees at work in
a live bee exhibit at the stand.
In a building on the grounds, the
Pasto Agricultural Museum dis
played more antique farm and
home implements this year. Many
of them were hands-on that allow
ed visitors to actually see how the
items worked.

For the older generation, the
museum brought back memories.
Lee Eisenhart, a farmer from
Lake Ariel in Wayne County, was
examining a bobsled like the one
he remembers from his youth
when he overheard Maryland resi
dents George Cullison and Willard
Hoff discussing it. Soon the trio
were swapping stories on much of
the implements and tools
displayed
Eisenhart said “I spent many
hours working a threshing
machine like this. It was dusty, dir
ty. hard work. I didn’t enjoy using
it as a kid, but now it brings back
memories and I think it’s kind of
fun.”
The trio discussed harvesting
ice from creeks and milking cows
by hand
And that manure bucket, actual
ly called a litter carrier, that needed
to be filled with a shovel and then
pushed out and emptied onto the
manure pile was the source of
many memories of aching
muscles.
Cullison said, “Every boy
and girl too should be made to
work on a farm for at least two
years. That would take care of all
the trouble makers in the country.”
Not only have farming imple
ments changed during the past
generations but also food
preparations.
To test food safety IQ, a Food
Safety SciQ was held. Patterned
after a television game show, the

Ann Smith from Newvllle
participants sat on a stage in the
College Exhibits Building Theat
re, where they were questioned by
radio hosts Steve Jones and Jeff
Brown.
The contestant who first
squeezed a horn, was allowed to
answer the question.
If the question was wrongly
answered, a fog horn sounded. If
answered correctly, wild, unbe
lievable applause from the audi
ence followed.
Multi-choice questions
included such ones as what does
food irradiation do, what foods
used microorganisms, and what is
the most dangerous temperature
for food storage.
Contestants who were randomly
selected as they walked into the
room won T-shirts and ice cream
coupons.
