Decorative Natural Bee Skep

This natural Artisan Bee Skep is a fusion between the traditional European skeps and the skilled handmade style of artisans from Bangladesh. These Fair trade, handmade, artisan bee skeps are tightly woven, and their natural design ensures they're water-resistant and provide valuable insulation for wildlife. This style of skep was traditionally used for collecting honeybee swarms, now typically used for decorative purposes. Each Artisan Bee Skep is handmade using recycled saris grass to the highest quality finish and is plastic-free. The skep should be placed in a sheltered position and preferably raised off the soft ground. The skep can be anchored with tent pegs for extra support. It can be helpful to brace the inside of the skep with twigs and sticks to give the bees a starting structure and material to build their nest around. Height 30 cm x Diameter 43 cm.
