Sorry I missed the live show. It’s very informative especially for new beekeepers. Hadn’t heard about using bananas 🍌 before, so I’ll keep it in mind if I have this issue. Also thanks for my latest hybrid flow hive it’s almost ready for my bees. I’m going to swop out my old hive for my new hybrid 1. I’ll send you some pictures to your website of the change over. Thanks again TrickyTrev 👍🐝🍯
I have been using bananas on my hive recently that is experiencing chalk brood. It doesn’t seem to have broken the cycle and bee numbers are quite low. I plan to remove the queen and combine them with another hive. Interestingly at one of my inspections when I cut the banana and added to the top of the frames the bees did all fly straight at the banana before I could place it down and covered it immediately. They haven’t always reacted like that when adding a banana. Thanks for the tip regarding the use of a shim.
I can't find a follow-up video about the banana outcome. I found this very interesting! If you made one, can you add the link? Many of your videos offer excellent advice that applies to any style hive, I appreciate you making and posting them.
The bees wax the cell foundation, build it out with their own comb, and fill this in with honey. The movement created through opening the Flow Frame, turns the hexagons into a zigzag channel that honey can flow down and out of the hive. -Kieran
Hey Casey, Thanks so much for sending the mints! We happily have received them. Since the floods here I have been working far away from the office but I intend to go back soon and get them, along with relocating my hive, so I will definitely get in touch with you as soon as I've had the privilege of trying your method out! - Danika
I would like to know a good placement for a beehive. I live in the city and don't have a very big backyard. I wart. I was thinking of putting it on the side yard facing the sun but that part of the yard doesn't get sun all year. Any advice
Beekeeping in the city is possible, some beekeepers will put hives on a balcony or even the roof. Having a hive positioned in sun for the morning with partial shade during the hottest part of the day is best, but you might be limited in which case bees will adjust to wherever they are located. Make sure to inform neighbours as they might be surprised by the presence of bees a jar of honey can go a long way. -Kieran
I saw a massive bumblebee(not sure what it's actual name is although I don't think it was a honey bee?) on my morning walk the other day, it was so big and fluffy lol spring is finally here🐝🌻🌼 Love from the UK🇬🇧🇺🇸
Mr. Cedar please forgive me for interrupting but I have a question about bee monitoring please. How many times a month should a beekeeper inspect his or hers bee colonies please sir.
It depends on your observations of the hive, you should inspect ever 1-2 weeks when you first set up a beehive to best ensure they are establishing themselves. Then once or twice every one or two months, really depending on what you are noticing from outside the hive. A drop in population would prompt an inspection, or checking in on the colony after bad weather would also good. -Kieran
I’m being more interrogated as to why it happened rather than fixing the problem. I was under the impression customer service was service oriented…. Not yet!
I am sorry to read you are experiencing this with your Flow Hive, I am not sure of your original order. Can you please advise the type of hive you have and what you used to protect this with? Did you send through pictures to faults@honeyflow.com?
Thank you for answering my question and may you all have many good days to come.

This is kind of entertaining watching those bees get more and more angry at you

I am from Bangladesh, I want to buy your box, how can I buy this box from Bangladesh?
You can visit our website, www.honeyflow.com for our full range of products. -Kieran
Did it work?
My flow hive super box began cracking after a week of putting it outside. Contacted Flow Hive and no one is willing to help me resolve the issue.
I wish I could just get 2 parts replaced. My harvest door is jammed because of the cracked wall.
