NO HONEY BOO BOO - J.B. Jones had a way of making things easier. He rarely made mistakes in his designs. A bee keeper by avocation, Jones built his bee boxes in the normal manner. To cut corners, Jones placed quart and half gallon jars on a partition in the middle of the box. The jars had a hole so that the bees could crawl up into the jar, which was covered to prevent all light from coming in. The bees would go up into the glass and fill each jar with the best honey. When the jars were full, Jones simply flipped them over and put a air tight lid on to keep his product clean, fresh and oh, so sweet! Springfield Missouri Leader, June 19, 1895.
