The Evolution of Beekeeping: History, Making, and Use of Skeps
A presentation on skeps by Roger Sutherland, professor emeritus at Schoolcraft College in Livonia. Skeps are beehives made of coiled straw, with a single opening at the bottom. This technique for making beehives has been largely discarded because of the difficulty of accessing the bees and hive for inspection. Presenter: Ann Arbor Backyard Beekeepers. Free.
