Harmless Bees

A fella was in the market to buy some acreage. He found just what  he
was looking for, but it was a little expensive. During an inspection of
the property, however, he found a hive of bees.

He told the owner that he was deathly afraid of bees, and there was no
way he could consider this piece of land. The landowner assured him that
the bees were completely harmless, but the buyer would have no part of
it.

Finally, the landowner made an offer. The buyer would allow himself to
be tied to a tree for an hour, nude, under the nest. So sure of the
friendliness of his bees was the farmer that if ONE bee were to sting
him, the farm would be his for free. The buyer thought it over and
decided it was worth the risk.

An hour later, the farmer walked out to the tree and saw the poor buyer
slumped over in his bindings. Fearing the worst, he ran up to him and
asked him if he had been stung.

The city fella looked up and weakly said, 

"No, but doesn't that calf have a mother?"
