This Decorative Bee Skep is a fusion between traditional European skeps and the skilled handmade style of artisans from Bangladesh. Making it a modern take on the traditional style of bee skeps used for managing bees in the early days of beekeeping across much of Europe. These fair-trade handmade artisan bee skeps are tightly woven, and their natural design ensures they're water-resistant and provide valuable insulation. This style of skep was traditionally used for collecting swarms, now typically used for decorative purposes or as part of a re-wilding effort. It's always a good idea to plant wildflowers or other pollinating flowers close to the skep to attract bees and give them a valuable food source. Each artisan bee skep is handmade using natural seagrass and recycled saris to the highest quality finish and is totally plastic-free. The individual artisans choose the colorful recycled sari pattern around the entrance, making every nester unique.
