Robert dropped by there in April of 2005 and was fortunate to be able
to see all process of operation, as various bee hives were being loaded,
fired, or cooled for unloading.

Domed Arches
of all Beehives are one of the most beautiful aspects
of this type of kiln design |

| The photos show kilns in various stages
of being loaded, fired and unloaded. Robert had the unique opportunity
or arrive when each of the 5 kilns was in a different stage of
operation. |
