My home is very english cottage looking and I want a bee skep to put into a cottage garden design. I won't raise bees in it but want it to look like the old ... That was a very cool site vmarcos68.

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?"; ... (Update: Uncle Ralph told his niece he wasn't interested in making skeps for mail order. "Doesn't she know I'm old?" he reportedly said. Guess you skep-fanciers will have to learn to make your own.

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 ... 5) How long did it last outside? 6) Did yours have a bottom on it or was it just like a bell - with no bottom? ...I'm thinking about trying my hand at making one for my garden. :); Thanks!
