Rosies,
Here's the best way to answer your question; as they say, one picture is worth a thousand words:

Go to Yahoo or Google web search engine, click on the "images" search tab (not just the general seach box that normally comes up). Enter in parenthesis just like:

"bee skep"

then you will see a most likely very familiar image, that is a bee skep!

You can also look to the image (artwork) just to the right of the header/title of this forum; that is a bee skep too.
