David Allanson Jones was a storekeeper and postmaster who settled in
the small West Gwillimbury community of Clarksville during the 1860's.
By 1870 he owned fifty acres of farmland and two swarms of bees. From
these simple beginnings, Jones became the first commercial beekeeper
in Canada. Across Europe and North America, David A. Jones was known
as the Bee King of the Nineteenth Century. In 1875, Clarksville was
renamed Bee Town in his honour. Eventually the spelling was changed to
the short British form, Beeton.
