Does anybody remember the places along the highways called Nickerson Farms?..Sort of like Stuckeys?
Anyways, there used to be one here, and as a kid we used to ride our bikes up there to look at all the trinkets and get a drink or snack....There also used to be a big, red, skep looking observation hive on the wall inside the store. It stuck out from the wall and was sort of like a oblong bubble, rounded on the front and flat to the wall, and you could watch the bees in it! :shock:..And if you went outside the building around the corner, you could see where there was a small pipe that the bees used to get in and out.
Has anybody ever seen one of these or know where I could get one?

I remember them and they were awesome. I have no idea where to find one.
They went out of business after a group of investers bought them.
Do a Google on Nickerson Farms, lots of info.
And Yes the bees did escape into the reastraunt In St. James, Missouri.
There are four buildings still in use between St.Louis, & Springfield Mo. I was in one just the other day, and nope the bee hive was gone.
