<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bingamum, post: 4234221, member: 19618&quot;]Well Debora, that sent me down the google rabbit hole looking at skeps. I have never heard that term. So interesting. I read the modern bee hive for commercial use was invented in the 1870s but assume most late Victorian rural households still used the skep to provide their own honey so is an easily recognizable choice for a kid&#039;s block and fits the timeline of the wooden wheelbarrow and the fire engine. Honestly, these little blocks might be worth little monetarily but proving to be such a fascinating slice of social history, so valuable to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
