The Bee Box that Jack Built (Jack's Farm)

This is the bee box, made of painted wood, that stands in the shade of the yard...

Each family member does his or her part: the dad is the amateur beekeeper, the mom makes candles using the beeswax from bee box, and the grandma sweetens the children s breakfast yogurt with honey.
