The glass jar is a feeder. Eventually it was taken away. It was just there to feed them to get started quicker.
For the smoke, you use a bee smoker. You can burn old dry leaves, old dry cornhusks, or other organic matter such as burlap sack. It triggers a bee's instinct to gorge on their own honey, so that they are occupied and they don't attack you.

"An eating bee never stings" goes the saying.
