There will be a short film featuring recreated scenes from the psalter and a series of documentaries about how we did it and the historical background. Some of the documentaries will be online here and some will be exclusive to the DVD that should be available next year some time.

We're basing it on the illustration in the Luttrell Psalter, which we showed to a variety of experts and they all agreed it was made of willow. We didn't manage to get any bees into it due to all the rain we've been having but we did find a ready-made willow skep with bees in it and have filmed that. We'll try to get bees in our skep next year and will have a documentary following our attempts uploaded here.

PS This is a really fantastic series of videos! Will it come out as a full-length film eventually?

Traditional bee skeps are made from braided or twisted straw, coiled and laced together. Where did you get the idea that skeps should be made like a basket? |
