This item is produced under Fair Production in Bangladesh
Fair production means:
The workshops in Bangladesh, where the skep hives are produced, have great economic importance for the women who produce them. Families get supported through a secure wage on which an economic future can be built. Children are able to go to school, cattle can be bought. They receive education in reading and writing, and the job contributes to the families ability to live reasonably.
Lovely just a shame it doesn't have a bottom too it too attached
I can make one instead
But also makes a fab hat !
Love it but my daughters nicked it for a project
This is an excellent product beautifully made. I’m delighted with it and hopefully next year I will attract some bees.
This is a very well made product. If it never attracts a bee, it looks fantastic in the garden.
We have put a bee attractant in it and placed it in a wild flower garden. Fingers crossed.
this is a lovely well made item, very sturdy. I have had it for just two weeks, and the bees have already moved in-
