Best Honey in Town!
Ray and Kari Bergeman of Gillette have recently opened up their own full time business, and it is the ‘bee’s knees.’ If you decide to stop throughout this fall (weather permitting) in the parking lot of Frontier Lanes on Hwy. 59 you see the “Local Honey” signs pointing your way. But you won’t just find honey; they have much more including pollen, honey combs, and home-made 100% beeswax candles of various shapes and sizes. “My interest came from my grandfather, who was an Idaho beekeeper, own-

ing about 500 colonies,” said Ray. “We have 162 colonies currently, but have more coming in next year.” A colony of bees is on hive, which equals about 120-150 thousand bees. Ray and Kari’s colonies mostly consist of American bees, which provide honey that never has an expiration date. Ray and Kari Bergeman will be selling their honey and candles outside of Frontier lanes throughout the fall, but you can continue to buy your honey from them throughout the winter by calling 307-257-0037. FACTS ABOUT RAW UNPROCESSED HONEY Honey is a natural sweetener made from the concentrated nectar of flowers. Honey bees gather nectar, which mixes with special enzymes in saliva and makes honey. The honey bees return to their hives to deposit and store the honey for their food. Honey is considered a super food because it is a powerful antioxidant packed with rich nutrients. It’s a natural antiseptic, an antibacterial and a healing salve for burns and wounds, but not all honeys are created equal.
RAW UNPROCESSED HONEY Raw unprocessed honey is 100 percent pure, natural, unpasteurized and unadulterated. Raw unprocessed honey is extracted from the beehive in its natural state and bottled. It is not strained, filtered or heated. Unlike processed honey, raw unprocessed honey retains all the enzymes, pollen, royal jelly, propolis, rich vitamins, minerals and carbohydrate content. NUTRITIONAL CONTENT Raw unprocessed honey contains B complex vitamins, which include riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamine, pyridoxine, biotin and B12. It also contains vitamins A, C, D, E and K, as well as traces of
minerals like iron, calcium, copper, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. It also contains enzymes and amino acids. HEALTH BENEFITS Raw unprocessed honey provides quick energy and is easily absorbed into the body. Its enzyme content enhances digestion, soothes the intestinal tract and acts as a laxative to help with elimination. Raw unprocessed honey is good for colds, coughs and sore throat and it calms the nerves. When taken before bedtime, it helps promote sound sleep. ALLERGIC REACTION Some individuals might develop an allergic reaction to honey. The symptoms might range from a mild
rash or hives with itching to swelling of your face, tongue and throat to shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. An allergic reaction is a serious medical emergency. Seek immediate medical care and treatment if any of these symptoms occur. WHAT ABOUT CONTAMINANTS? During the process of gathering pollen and nectar from the flowers, the honey bees might come in contact with contaminants such as antibiotics, pesticides and other chemicals. According to World Class Emprise, the trace amount of contaminants that might be found in raw unprocessed honey is too low to be harmful to humans.
Mayor proclaims Saturday, Nov. 24 as Small Business Saturday Don’t forget about local small businesses!
Mayor Tom Murphy declares November 24th Small Business Saturday to support and celebrate local small businesses Mayor Murphy joins Mayors across the country to rally their communities around Third Annual Small Business Saturday. Gillette, WY [November 20, 2012] - At last night’s City Council meeting, the city of Gillette announced its endorsement and participation in the third annual Small Business Saturday. Small Business Saturday, which falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, is a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country. “Our locally owned small businesses are vital to Gillette, and I encourage everyone to shop locally as much as possible,” said Mayor Murphy. Councilwoman Louise Carter-King also spoke about the growth of retail in Gillette, “Year after year, the citizen survey tells us that our residents want more retail. And look at all the stores that have opened in the last two or three months. That’s fantastic. Now we just need to get out and support them all.” American Express, founding partner of Small Business Saturday, created the national program in 2010 in response to small business owners’
most pressing need: more demand for their products and services. Similar to last year, Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP), a nonpartisan small business advocate and operational arm of the Small Business Saturday Coalition, is rallying mayors across the country to show their support and encourage their local communities to “shop small” on November 24, 2012. In recognizing the importance of supporting independent businesses in Gillette, Mayor Murphy: • Issued a Small Business Saturday Proclamation and listed Gillette on the Small Business Saturday Facebook Page (approaching 3 Million followers) • Engaged Gillette main streets in planning Small Business Saturday shopping events on November 24th “Last year, elected officials in all 50 states and Washington D.C. championed Small Business as millions shopped small on the day,” said Barbara Kasoff, president of WIPP. “This year, we are urging Mayors everywhere to get their communities excited about shopping at their local small businesses during this holiday season.” Additional information about Small Business Saturday is available at: www.ShopSmall.com.
