FairTrade Skep (Deluxe)

This beautiful swarm catching skep made of seagrass is both a pleasure to the eye and a practical tool. A catching skep has the advantage of being wide, making it easy to capture a swarm. Because it is lightweight and has a handle, it is very easy to use. This skep is made in the two poorest provinces of Bangladesh: Rangpur and Bogra. The product is Fairtrade certified and with this purchase you support families there. The seagrass and natural materials used are harvested in a way that causes no damage to the environment.

Dimensions: 35 cm high, 30 cm wide at the base (dimensions may vary slightly per skep as they are handmade). The handle of the catching skep is made of rope or reed (may vary), making it easy to lift.

As an alternative to the catching skep, there is also the swarm catching bag that can be placed on a pole. Very handy for catching a bee swarm in a tall tree.
