Two articles in (Gleanings in) Bee Culture, January 1986 and August 1988
were about keeping bees in five gallon buckets. These were not used in a
skep like fashion but were cut in half the long way and each half laid
on its side to serve as a hive. They were actually top bar hives. The
thrust of the article was the use of such hives as teaching hives. As
long term hives they are of limited size.
