This illustration depicts a traditional skep beehive-a dome-shaped, tiered structure historically made from coiled straw or grasses. The image highlights the concentric layers and a small arched entrance at the base, characteristic of pre-modern apiculture. Though largely replaced by Langstroth hives today, skeps remain symbolic of heritage beekeeping practices.
