Hi Susan
Bees Were "Kept" in Ancient Egypt in clay tubes, plastered sometimes on
the ends with dung. They were approximately five feet long and stacked
horizontally as we would store wood for the fireplace. Comb honey was
taken with a scoop with a long handel. This was covered in American Bee
Journal sometime last year.
