In Burkina Faso, the traditional bee hive is constructed using things like logs, reeds, mud and grass. For example, in a place like Zogore, a preferred hive is one with a cylindrical structure made of dry grass, lined with mud, which is hardened by fire. Special herbs are used to attract swarms of bees.
