Handmade Artisan Natural Bee Skep - Recycled Sari

Discover the perfect blend of tradition and sustainability with our Handmade Artisan Natural Bee Skep. Inspired by traditional European bee skeps and crafted by skilled artisans in Bangladesh, this eco-friendly bee skep offers a modern take on centuries-old beekeeping methods. Traditionally used to collect swarms and manage bees across Europe, today this beautiful bee skep serves as a charming decorative addition to your garden or a valuable tool in re-wilding efforts to support pollinators.

Dimensions: 400 x 300 x 300 mm

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.

Key Features:

• Fair-Trade & Handmade: Supporting rural artisans in Southern Bangladesh, particularly women in poverty, while promoting traditional craftsmanship.
• Plastic-Free & Sustainable: Made from natural hogla grass and recycled saris, ensuring zero waste and eco-friendliness.
• Decorative & Functional: Ideal for garden decor, re-wilding initiatives, or collecting bee swarms.
• Unique Design: Each skep features a one-of-a-kind sari fabric pattern, hand-selected by the artisan.

Perfect for Your Pollinator-Friendly Garden:
Enhance your garden’s biodiversity by siting the bee skep in a sheltered, elevated position. 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.
