I’m a new beekeeper in the U.S., so I thank you for sharing this aspect of a wonderful, old craft of skep beekeeping. This is fascinating, and a good review for what I need to look for in my hive and a basic, simpler approach to queen rearing. If I were younger, I’d make my way to this environment to learn this version of the craft!
