Although the beekeepers in those videos have long since retired, many of their
skeps are still in use by a wonderful Dutch beekeeper whose website is here
<http://www.degoederaat.nl/dir/english/>. In this
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlAzSzdjV-0> video he demonstrates the removal
of bees from a skep and their transference to another.

Hi - yes that's right. He is a master bee keeper and runs a bee farm. I have
not watched all the films yet but thought they were amazing - all those skeps
and so interesting to see how they can be repaired although don't fancy doing
the cow dung. And no gloves!!

Are these of the North German family beeks from the 1970s (I watched them
last the winter - spellbinding!)

Hi.
These films are on Beekeeping Forum and are fascinating. It's on the main
forum section - it's quite a few films - you'll need plenty of time to watch
all the films.
Liz.
