I’m doing research on skeps and want to know if it’s necessary to kill the hive to extract honey from skeps. Is there a way to share honey with bees in a skep?

Couldn’t help noticing three photos of natural comb – well done!

You might also mention always removing the frame next to the outside one(#2) first. This frame rarely has the queen so she is less likely to get rolled. Lastly, before I remove that I check for burr comb on both sides of #2 and detach any from as close to #1 and 3 so burr comb comes out on #2. That way there is no chance protruding burr comb on the other frames will scrape against the ascending #2. Tricks learned thru 40 years beekeeping

When I started keeping bees back in the 1950s I was shown by a commercial Keeper that the out side frame ,Honey and pollen should be moved out first as this then gives room to free up the brood nest which stops the rolling of bees when lifting out brood frames and less likely to crush the queen
