Karen asked about finding "an old fashioned cone shaped hive", and wanting
it to be functional.

These are called skeps, and in many locations it is illegal to keep
honeybees in skeps. The reason is that the honeycomb in a skep is not
removable, and therefor it is impossible to inspect the colony for disease.
So, I would strongly encourage you to NOT attempt to keep bees in a
decorative skep. Many skeps being sold these days are not attractive to bees
anyhow, as they are not the "right" size for an active colony.
