Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

Low-poly bee skep for traditional bee keeping. A skep is a domed basket to house honey bees. European beekeepers switched from hollowed out logs to straw skeps around 800 AD. It’s made from all natural material like straw or hay bundles that are wrapped around a hollow dome. These bundles are stitched together with blackberry cane, which was split in half first. A slit of about 15 cm enables bees to enter and exit the structure. * UPDATE 2022-04-25: * made textures PBR added .uasset-files for Unreal Engine 5 The file includes: Skep with a size of approx. 59 x 59 x 62 cm, with in- and outside Cover scene is NOT included.
