Our very own Kelley Walters is a beginner apiarist and when I showed her this cedar beehive from I found on Etsy from seller Steidlewave she said she gasped. This visually stunning piece is handmade from recycled cedar fencing and doesn’t come cheap at $999. But it is so lovely that I’d be tempted to use it as a side table in my living room.
