Traditional Straw Beehive in the Clover Field
A large skep woven from straw rests in a grassy meadow filled with flowering clover. Nearby sit a small wooden stool and a bucket used by the beekeeper during routine hive checks. In the background, apiary buildings and a low protective fence frame the peaceful pastoral landscape where honeybees collect nectar.
Fascinating Facts About Beehives and Clover
White clover is one of the most beneficial forage plants for honeybees because its blossoms produce high volumes of nectar with a rich sugar content. Before modern wooden hives were introduced, beekeepers kept colonies in dome-shaped straw structures called skeps. Honeybees visit thousands of individual clover flowers every day to gather food for their hive.
