Hi everyone. Hopefully, your live chat questions will be answered live by Cedar but if not, please email our support team on info@honeyflow.com. Happy beekeeping :)
So Lovely is that plate of perfect heart shaped honeycomb. What a Beautiful presentation of the Girl's work. I would never have thought to cut it like that. 🥰🐝💖 I hope to have a Lovely harvest such as that some day. 😎 but I was so SO nervous that plate was gonna fall from the roof!! 😟 Nice Demo Cedar and Thnx 🥰

I CANNOT WAIT TO BUY A FLOW HIVE! This is absolutely amazing. I’ve wanted to get in to Bee Keeping for a few years, but I didn’t know where to start. ♥️♥️♥️🙌🏻
I saw that the bees glue the geneman's lattice with wax to the frames. It is necessary to increase the height of the body by several millimeters, and then everything should be ok. I heard that already fifty years ago in Australia, blueberries began to be cultivated (blueberries with honey - supper). If I'm not mistaken, you have blueberries on your plate. Is it a preference for flavor, or is there something wrong with the blueberries?
Nice presentation.enjoyed watching the video.may i know the price of flow hive in Australia.address of manufacturing company.will this hive is good for apis mellifera.and apis cerena.

hey there, Oh that's so exciting :) Feel free to email us at info@honeyflow.com and ask for some pointers to resources to get started.

i love watching this but maybe making some kinda brush that can pull the lil wax at the bottom that falls down where the honey drips down into the tube but its very lil so i guess it doesnt matter
Boa noite muito bom Richard Otimo Día para você. Deus Abençoe Amo seus video depois enviarei os meus dados para o envio da caixa de Abelhas e UM Avental.

Hey David, Thanks for your interest and question. We do have one for this, yes - the Flow Hybrid super, which has 3 Flow frames and 4 traditional ones you can harvest honeycomb from. It is compatible with a full 6 Flow frame super or an 8 frame Langstroth brood box. Find it here: go.honeyflow.com/collections/flow-supers-and-brood-boxes/products/flow-hybrid-super And more info about it here: support.honeyflow.com/how-to-collect-honeycomb-from-flow-hive/ - Danika
Hi Barry, Thanks for your message. Here's an article on this subject I hope you'll find helpful: www.honeyflow.com/resources/fake-flow-hives/p/480#info8 The main reasons these cheap imitations are not a good idea are: 1. Legal Flow (we) own the registered IP portfolio for our Flow Frame technology and Flow Hive design. All other copycat versions are a direct infringement of our IP rights and illegally manufactured, distributed and sold. Flow owns the registered IP portfolio for all 'tappable hives' in the world and all other versions are fake. It may also be that the Flow Frames are not made from non-food grade plastic that is toxic for your bees. 2. Lack of warranty, quality and customer support You basically get what you pay for with the cheap fakes, true to the nature of the counterfeit industry (if not worse for fake Flow). The common stories we hear from people who have purchased fake Flow are that the product was missing parts, parts didn't fit together, assembly instructions were in a foreign language, it didn't turn up etc. There is no product warranty with such items (if you report buying a fake Flow to Amazon, for example, you will get your money back as it's against their terms and conditions to sell a counterfeit item) and the customer support is shocking with no beekeeping support. 3. No beekeeping support If you are new to beekeeping, it's really important you get the right support and this is something that Flow strives to ensure we deliver this to our customers. If you buy a fake, you will miss out on this. Flow is considered expensive by some people. Please understand that it's not cheap to produce a product that is wholly made in Australia from the very best materials able to be sourced to ensure the health and safety for you and the bees (plastic frames), plus a light as possible footprint on this earth (timber hive). Flow is all about business for positive purpose and we love to support grass-roots organisations that support our pollinators worldwide, which we directly support with regular donations generated from several different means with Flow. Of course compromises are made when a product is able to be manufactured so cheaply, such as the conditions of the work environment, workers rights, quality and precision of the product, customer support, where the materials have been sourced and this effect on the environment etc. I hope this information is able to support you in making the right decision Brad, we'd love to welcome you to the Flow community. Please let me know if you have any questions. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative you could consider just buying a Flow Hive Super and buy a base, brood box, queen excluder and roof from a local beekeeping supply shop. Our Flow Frames fit into standard Langstroth deep boxes. If you already have one of these, our Flow Frames should fit straight in. The Flow Hive 7 & 4 frame is equivalent to the common 10 frame Langstroth box. The Flow Hive 6 & 3 frame is equivalent to the common 8 frame Langstroth box. There is a simple modification (only 2 cuts) required to convert standard boxes to accommodate the Flow Frames and provide access to our easy honey harvesting technology. You can find details for this modification here. support.honeyflow.com/modifying-a-langstroth-box-for-flow-frames/ While I do understand they are a lot cheaper I hope this assists you in reasoning why it is worth paying the right price not only because it's they're illegal but because you are supporting ethically manufactured, environmentally friendly company who are passionate about bees and pollinator protection and education. Have a lovely day and please let us know if there's any other ways we can assist you :) - Danika
Hey! Do you happen to have a video explaining how turning the rod starts the honey draining without ruinihg the capping? Or could I have an explanation haha thank you!
The Key System opens up the Flow (of Honey) channels... When the Faux Cells are empty, the Bees will feel 'space' under their feet (!) The wax capping has nothing underneath it... 👀 So they chew them open.... And start filling up with more (new) Nectar..... 😏 You can Key just say the first part of the Frame, (1/3rd way in, tap a couple of Jars.) Come back later, tap the middle 1/3rd, then the Back 1/3rd... Of the Same Frame !!!# The front will be refilled and be younger (not capped) as you take, to the not taken inner 1/3rd etc etc. Make sense ?... 🤗

I have added a 2nd box just for the Bees and will put the Flow Super on this coming Spring and if Real Lucky I will be also adding a shallow Super above that for sweet honeycomb. 🥰🐝✌ That's my Plan
Is it possible to purchase only the supers and the queen excluders, or frames and queen excluders, from you, if one has locally made brood boxes. The flow hive is quite fantastic but when one considers shipping cost, which may be 3times unit cost then one begins to think of options of getting the same result at a reasonable cost

I want to do this really bad. But in my 48 years I've never been stung as im afraid of bees and always avoided them. I know I'm strange. But it fascinates me. With my luck I'd get this flow system and get stung and die. But I woukd enjoy this I think but bet bees can sense my fear and will sting me or at least taunt me with insults.
Speak to a GP and you can see if you are allergic to bees, this will be important before you ever start beekeeping, if you have never been stung before. It can be a little scary, but with confidence stings are minimal, but they will happen. -Kieran
49:30 Pretty funny how the vegan says that because he is a vegan he wants to make sure the harvest is completely harmless to the bees, as if non-vegans don't care if they kill bees! Not to mention it is practically impossible to keep bees without accidentally killing some.
You celebrate the landmark date very beautifully, using rituals - congratulations to all those involved once again! For a good memory, it is not a sin to celebrate pleasant events during the week, which is what I wish you!
I want to start beekeeping but not sure where to begin. I’ve seen your videos but there isn’t one. From literally ground zero to fruition of the hive....can you plz make one?
I would recommend joining a local Bee Club and/or Bee Association cuz Beekeeping is uber local and you need to pick the brains of folks near you. And Read Beekeeping for Dummies and watch ALL the Flow Hive videos. Good Luck
Hi Christie, Flow is great for beginners, however, it is still very important to learn the necessary beekeeping skills to ensure your bees are kept safe and happy. Beekeeping with Flow is much the same as beekeeping the conventional way and the same practices should be adopted across the board for managing your hive in your specific climate. We encourage all customers to contact local beekeepers and join a beekeepers club, as they can keep you informed about how to keep your bees happy and healthy and are the best resource for the most suitable beekeeping methods in your region and climate. We have extensive free educational resources on our website including our beginner beekeeping ua-cam.com/play/PL0cW96U9vYJlvMDRDc83hsGpp4mWucrv-.html We also have a great online beginner beekeeping course, which we recommend for all new beekeepers: www.honeyflow.com/resources/starting-with-flow/online-beekeeping-course/p/595. This is a subscription-based course, but the first month is free. There are no locked-in contracts so you can cancel at any time. Please let us know if you have any questions - Leah.
