    Youre bees are so much calmer than mine. I would never dream of opening the hive without having a suit on.

    The comb guide should be coated with bees wax. It works better like coating plastic frames to start pulling out comb. Uncoated plastic frames are patchy at best.

    📃 And your Lord has inspired the bees to build dwellings in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect, so follow humbly the paths of your Lord and eat of all the fruits from their bellies comes a drink of various colors, in which. there is healing for people. Indeed, this is a sign for a people who reflect 📃

    I have a Flow Hive 2+ with room for seven frames in the brood box. The nuc that I will be transferring to the brood box has five frames of bees. I infer that I will only ever need two of the frames that are included with the 2+ full complement of components. In fact, my beekeeper did confirm that I will be transferring the five frames and putting two Flow frames outermost, one one either side. If all the foregoing is correct, I guess I should still assemble, glue, and nail up all the included frames and put them in a safe place in case of need at a later date. Comment?

      Actually, there are TEN frames, not seven as I wrote above. All ten of them fit into the brood box. So I guess I should place three empty frames on one end, two on the other, and the five from the nuc in the middle. Does that sound right?

    If we are transferring from non flow frames, how do we eventually move them to all flow frames? Will the system work with the frames we get when we purchase our nuc?

    That was a fascinating video. I learned several things, such as that both outside and inside surfaces of the roof should be sealed with a good paint. I wasn't sure about that after hearing that only the outsides of the major hive components should have a coating applied. Having written that, I intend to coat the outsides of the brood box and super with Thompson Water Seal. It's popular in the States for use on equipment exposed to moisture. Do you approve, Flow crew?
    EDIT: I searched beekeeping forums and found mixed reviews on TWS. Apparently, many beekeepers do use it. However, several commented that it doesn't last more than two years, then the outsides of the hive require re-coating. The reviews are from 2011. I think they now have several formulae. The one I have is TWS "Barely Tinted" - "Natural Cedar".

    Perhaps next time you doing a hive inspection and find queen cells it may be an idea to explain the difference between swarm and supercedure cells.
    Just a thought.

    Do I need a swarm to start the flow hive or can I buy a queen with 5 helpers

      Bees rarely find their way into empty beehive boxes, even though they are designed to be a perfect home for them. You can check out a great article here on how to get a colony
      to call your own. support.honeyflow.com/how-do-i-get-bees/ Important terminology to know when speaking with a beekeeper, or searching bee package or bee nuc, as well as swarms and hive splits.

    Why did you have to transfer the frames..? Why didn’t you just put that box onto the stand?

    So when you put the swarm in the brood box that you're taking them out of now , the frame had nothing but the surrounding frame, no comb and they have since made all the comb that's in there , and how long did that take for them to make that??

      Hi There, Are you introducing a new queen into your hive? The cage may be placed between combs in the brood nest, or on top of the frames over the brood nest, screen downwards.Please feel free to email our support team at info@honeyflow.com

    How can one know the difference between an organic honey and a fake one

    • @FlowHive
      @FlowHive  2 місяці тому

      Organic honey can be fairly hard to find, as can forage for up to 7km radius of their hive. Sometimes more. Many honey producers can find it hard to ensure no plants have sprayed and with varroa miticides are now commonly used in beekeeping. You would need to test your honey to determine its levels or presence of these chemicals.
