Crafted with Care and Sustainability:
Each artisan bee skep is meticulously handwoven using natural hogla grass and adorned with colorful recycled sari fabric, ensuring a unique and vibrant design. Hogla grass, a sustainable and abundantly available material in Bangladesh, is repurposed to create this eco-conscious product while tackling overgrowth in rivers and harbors. The skep’s tightly woven construction provides water resistance and natural insulation, offering a safe and cozy environment for bees.

Planting wildflowers or pollinator-friendly blooms nearby helps attract bees, offering them a vital food source and encouraging natural pollination. For added support, the skep can be anchored with tent pegs and braced inside with twigs or sticks to provide structure for the bees to begin building their nest.
