I would like to offer my thanks to all who participated in discovering the
origins of the skep on the hive stand with special thanks to Joe W.
 I have attempted to discover the origins of the skep off and on now for
about a year.

This Christmas we had the skep embroidered on some sweatshirts.  And that
renewed my interest in the origins of the skep image.

For anyone interested I have inserted 2 links to photos of the embroidery

Once again thanks for the help.
