Skep Beehive

Engraving of bees leaving their bell-shaped hive, known as a skep made from some type of grass, reed or rope. This type of hive was cheap and easy to construct. In its simplest form, there is a single entrance at the bottom and there is no internal structure provided for the bees and the colony must produce its own honeycomb, which is attached to the inside of the skep. It has the disadvantage that it is difficult to harvest the honey. The technology of beekeeping has remained fairly constant throughout the centuries.
