Making a bee skep

It doesn't show how the initial round top is formed but I'm sure you can figure it out.

To attract bees, place it in flowery areas, meaning in environments they would appreciate and place a bowl of maple sirup (or sugar) in it or next to it then wait. A queen is bound to select your beehive as it's new home. Some people shake swarms into them from trees.

You can weave in a few sticks that form an X (or a set of parallel sticks) a third from the top to provide rafters from which they can start building their hive.
