Very well made video! I would like to point out that the seagrass they're using- bangkuang, is in fact not a seagrass but is Pacchyrizus erosus or the Mexican Turnip. Seagrasses are flowering plants that fully grow in saltwater environments in the sea. you can read more about it here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagrass

Hello Kuya and Até. I need skep or round dome shaped baskets for traditional European beehives. I think the ancient beehive design would be perfect for province people to raise bees in, propagate honey bee colonies, produce honey and increase their coconuts and other fruit harvests. Thanks
