The skep hive is super insulated.  I don’t see how it is any different than bees living in a tree, a wall, or a plastic dinosaur.  My friend isn’t planning on harvesting honey, just wants the bees in his yard.

I thought skeps were illegal in California as it is impossible to inspect for diseases.

This one is very close to my house.  Happy to grab it for a friend who is looking to populate a skep hive.
