I am posting a link to google drive of what I would guess is a reproduction
of a wood block cutting of a skep on a stand with bees.

This image is all over the net if you google "skep".

The first reference I have iis in the ABC and XYZ 1948 edition on page 337.
 It also appears on Page 345 of the 1966 (33rd) edition of the ABC and
XYZ.  It probably was in the earlier editions but I do not have access to
them.

Does anyone know the origins of this?  Joe W / Peter B?
Is it in the public domain?

Stay warm...
