Busy as a bee is where we find the early colonial settler in the warmer weather, planting, tending, fixing the old homestead from the harsh winter months. Log gum, skeps and box hives were common in this period. Plain simple shelters for the bees. Bees attached their wax combs to the hive's roof and walls. Massive 2.5 lbs. 12 inches tall. Decoration only.
