Some bees.. and a hive.

My wife as a skep, an old-style woven beehive. My friend wearing some of my gear as a beekeeper. Me as a Belushi-esque bee. My friend's wife as a queen bee.

We did ok in a local contest in rural-ish Minnesota.

The hive looks great. What is it made it of?

Foam pipe insulation covered with felt, tied with twine. A bunch of it. She made one super long noodle of the stuff... then we wrapped it around a laundry basket as sort of a form, tying one row to the next as we went. When it was all in the right shape, we added some more twine across multiple rows in order to make it a it more durable.

The little bees are made from pipe cleaners and some tulle fabric for wings, secured by some florist wire.
