What did Mesopotamian beehives look like?

There's a ton of information in this lecture by Gil Stein, descriptions of historical bee hives start at around 18 minutes in. In the ancient middle east bee hives would have looked like long ceramic cylinders (which are still used by some traditional beekeepers in the area today).

If we accept that Turkey is part of Mesopotamia (at least some of it) and that the ninth picture in this page comes from Turkey, then a Mesopotamian beehive from 8000 BC looks exactly as the statue's tiara.
However this is only a tentative answer, as I do not know very much about it.
