honey pots
Bear bait jars
Honey pots are containers for storing honey, typically ceramic or glass jars with lids.
The term extends to anything that attracts people or resources the way honey attracts bears: The city became a honey pot for tech workers.
In cybersecurity, a honeypot is a decoy system designed to lure hackers and study their methods.
The two-word spelling usually refers to literal pots; the compound honeypot tends toward figurative uses.
