Has anyone made a bee skep? If so... 1) How hard was it to make? 2) How long did it take you to make it? 3) How much straw/grass did you have to gather to make it? 4) Does it need to have a coat of oil or something else to help protect it from rain, dew, etc?

A co-worker out of the blue the other day emailed me and said, "I have a bee skep that my uncle made. Do you want it?"; ...

Sorry!)
