Here's a little advice on harvesting honey:
The Man who performs this Operation, will save himself best from the Bees, if he has no Hair on his Head, and that his Head be rubb'd with Vinegar: but if he should happen to be stung, he may apply a Copper Half-penny to the wounded part, and holding it there for a Minute or two, it will prevent the swelling, or any After-pain.
source: Bradley, R. (1727). The country gentleman and farmer's monthly director, containing necessary instructions for the management and improvement of a farm, in every month of the year. With several particulars relating to the improvement of bees, never before made publick.
