Straw bee skeps have long been a recognisable symbol of beekeeping the world over. Since the Middle Ages when they were used as rudimentary hives, the bee skep has endured as the beekeeper’s unofficial logo. Their wonderful domed profile and the considerable craft skill used to make them from coiled wheat straw has made them a cherished part of our rural heritage. Bee skeps are seldom used as beehives these days as they need to inspect colonies for disease has made them impractical, but they are still popular baskets for collecting swarms. The straw provides a good surface onto which bees can quickly cluster, making it easy for them to surround their queen and for the beekeeper to relocate the swarm. The wonderful domed shape has also made bee skeps popular today to decorate interiors and cottage gardens. If left outside, however, they need to be covered or positioned in a bee bole in a wall as these skeps are made entirely of wheat straw.

Traditional bee hive, working and complete WBC beehive, antique, garden ornament
This is a WBC style Victorian hive, which is the model most people think of in terms of bee hives. Unlike the box hives, this is a double layered system that is well insulated and dry. This is an old inherited hive and presumed to be at least 50yrs old possibly a lot older! Great condition, robust and solidly built and freshly painted inside and out. This is a big heavy hive that would be lovely as a garden ornament or focal feature. However, its also fully usable and comes with. 1 x Hive stand, complete with entrance and solid base. 4 x lifts (lower lift has attached porch). 1 x traditional roof with vents front and back. Very heavy and thick wood. 1 x brood chamber. 2 x supers (honey levels). 1 x queen excluder. 1 x crown board with holes for bee escapes. This is collection only. I could attach to a pallet but I think that would be an expensive option. Around 107 high and lifts are roughly 52cm square. This is a beautiful, well built and historical hive and would look superb in any garden. (A couple more hives of different style are currently being refurbished and will be listed shortly).
