This was last winter, here in Byron Bay Australia we get a good honey flow in the winter, lucky us!
Most of my family are beekeepers. This Flow™ Hive has 6 Flow™ frames in a standard 8 frame sized Langstroth hive.

The human who invented this hive is a genius!! Beautiful video!
ikr
thank you Bee's for all the yummy and hard work you go through in getting us some great honey
Fantastic video fella. Thanks for your time!
very cool, this was the first time I had heard about these types of hives..
🇦🇿🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦
Simply the best most amazing invention I have seen for many years. Congrats to all involved.
Yeah, very very nice
That is so awesome. The design of this is astonishing.
This looks like a great invention and should sell really well. I am in my 5th year as a beekeeper and I may actually try one for the novelty:
My concern is all the folks that thought they couldn't keep bees before this invention and now think they can. If you can't keep bees without the flow hive, you probably shouldn't with the flow hive. I would estimate that harvesting honey is one of the easier tasks of the beekeeper. Some other tasks that may not be as pleasant are; re-queening an aggressive hive; swarm prevention; swarm collection from your angry neighbors yard; dealing with your bees over-taking your neighbors pool as their watering source; pests, predators, pathogens, parasites, cures and preventions, hive splitting; varroa mite monitoring, pesticide exposure/monitoring; stings; your neighbor getting stung (unlikely but you will be blamed for every sting); and the list could go on for awhile.
Fascinating
Plus without pulling the frame to inspect, there's no way to know if Small Hive Beetles have turned one of the hidden from view sections into their toilet room. It looks like slime and will just be mixed with the honey. Mmmm yummy! lol
I also forgot to mention American Foul Brood (AFB). Where I am we're required to burn our hives if the disease is contracted. I think I may just try a frame or 2.
Edward Ridgeway Good to know Edward! But don't you think that more of people dealing with beekeeping is better for the bees in general?
***** I do as long as they're going about it the right way. Folks need to educate themselves and be prepared to become beekeepers; not just honey harvesters.
I've never seen anything like this. Amazing.
i really like ur guys way of getting honey because u dont use smoke or hurt the bees in anyway!😄
That's a blessing! Great food source.
This is unbelievable. Great job on making this very easy for those that are bee keepers. This would be perfect for me if I was a bee keeper being that I make mead. I wouldn't have to buy honey any more. Great job. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations for your work!
I find it funny though. The bees are all like "Oh no! It's draining. All of our hardwork is draining!"
Fascinating!!! Although, I am petrified of Bees and don't eat honey, it was interesting to watch their workflow!
Not gonna lie. Seeing this actually makes me contemplate learning the fine art of beekeeping. Bees are already fascinating creatures, but having access to their honey without having to jump through several hoops? Yeah, that makes it all the more enticing. There's nothing quite like freshly harvested honey. Pity I haven't been able to get ahold of any freshly collected honey in many years.
+SlayerZaraki bee keeping is good because bees are important for the enviroment
+SlayerZaraki With the Flow hive, you still need to take care of your bees! The only thing that this changes is the way the honey is harvested. Though, it looks *a lot* easier, and that's why I bought one. Find and join a local bee club to learn about bees, and watch videos here on UA-cam before jumping in.

Oh, of course. There are no bee clubs around here - not even close, really - but I am doing large amounts of research all the same. I've gotten ahold of a few people that are already actively keeping bees. Figured they would be good sources of information.
The unfortunate fact, though, is that the honeybee population in my area has dwindled to almost nothing. The prospect of being able to harvest the honey relatively easily is a nice one, I cannot deny, but I'm probably more interested in just getting some healthy bees back into the area. Even if it means I get stung a few times, 'cause really, that's basically inevitable.
Good for you! I've kept bees for several years, and only just started harvesting honey. I did the same as you, studied everything I could before starting. I'm surprised that there aren't bee clubs near you, our club has over 300 members. Where are you? (approximately?)
Karen Carol
I'm in a little backwoods part of the state of Tennessee. There are some bee clubs, but the closest one I found was roughly a day's travel by car. Of course, it's also possible some exist that simply don't have much presence on the internet. In this area, there's quite a few associations and the like that never quite "got with the times". I'll have to keep looking.
Wow this is really awesome
Absolutely incredible. You've definitely got my attention and approval.
Thanks Greg :)
@@FlowHive come puoi comperare queste casette per ihapi in Italia
@@FlowHive come icontrare cueste persona bevendo queste casette per il hapi, eziste risposte, colcuno reishe ripoderti.
@@FlowHive ottimo tecnologia
I am excited about getting one of these for our mini farm.
this is ridiculously funny, the majority of that honey is probably not ready yet... without taking the comb out you wouldn't know if the entire thing is capped or not lol
This is in another level 👍
Too perfect! Brilliant!
this is beautiful.
It is amazing and wonderful.👏👏👏
First of all, I'd like to commend you for your invention. I believe the Flow Hive will allow regular suburban citizens like me to start our own hives without all the mess and hard work involved in bee keeping. This could surely work to combat the bee crisis and repopulate the critical species of our ecosystem that is the bee.
Secondly, I'd like to recommend (and request) that you publish tutorial videos that instuct us on how to operate and maintain your hive (eg. Any cleaning that is required, how to manage the queen etc.).
I think many people who invest in your technology would appreciate the advice.
Thanks for reading and responding.
The Flow Hive Full Reveal video will help raise the interest and excitement level of potential beekeepers. Historically, this could be the pivotal moment to actually get a new wave of beekeepers. Think of it... a beekeeping club in every rural county, or every major neighborhood. (Remember... three mile radius.) If your community has a Garden Club, or Betterment Association, or Boy Scout Troop, or 4H, or FFA... (and the list goes on), the Flow Hive could be just the thing to raise the level of excitement and interest to get young teens involved, as well as the newly retired (...with disposable income). If you've ever wanted to become a part of something important... and 'bigger than yourself... recruiting and teaching the next generation of beekeepers may be exactly what you're looking for.
Very well said!
It's awesome, I haven't seen like this tools for draining the honey...
Good innovation congratulations... I just need such hives am from KENYA and and am bee farmer 7 years with 30 hives
keep up the good work guys
Thank you for translation.
Wow excellent idea beautiful like this you're not bothering them and you'll have pure honey keep going very nice
I'm salivating just watching this
A wonderful invention
I would like see something about making sure the bees have enough food for the winter with this method. Also once the honey is drained will you have to remove the frame and clean where the bees added wax?
this is beautifully
What is the green light on the frame to the right of the ones harvested?
That's a beautiful honey cell
Yo necesito este!!! Esta increíble!
Different hive get different colored honey....!!!!!
Wow
Interesting way to harvest. That's the first time I've seen someone harvest honey like that
wow...that's an amazing hive! so...painless, and convenient! granted, you don't get any wax from this hive, but that' samazingly simple to collect the honey! very impressive.
Супер! Можно понаблюдать за работой пчелы!!!👍 Интересная технология!
the best harvest i watch
I'm curious if the honey produced is exactly the same as that produced by the standard waxed based frame template that apiarists usually used? Honey is essentially a dehydrated hydrolysed sucrose solution, if it's not exactly separated between cells (i.e. a little be seeps between your two sheering structures) isn't this going to affect the ability of bees to re-digest the sugars then dehydrated with wing fanning?
Wow... good job
Are these units for sale yet?
That's amazing! :D
Did you have to drain the second frame the honey got stuck in or did it find it’s way out
Thank you for funny and interesting Video! I enjoy it very much!
Best greetings from Ukrainian bekeepers! Good luck, Victor
and from turkish beekeepers
and maybe soon the bulgarian beekeepers :D
Interested ..
Its amazing...good idea
Nice idea clean and beautiful good luke😍😍😍😍😍
진짜 위생적이고 좋은기술을 발견~~ 적용 잘했군요. 수고하세요^-^
that is a really nice hive i love your observation viewer what is that nethod you are using i have seen the plastic frames before but not the self draining honey ones, that is amazing and so fast .
Excelent, God bless you
Amazing 👍
this seems like a very useful system if you simply want the honey and just don't have the amount of frames needed to warrant a extraction machine.
Where can one get those tubes or a manifold to harvest multiple frames at once into a bucket?
what happens when they are about to swarm?? Can you do splits with this type of hive??
Exelente video saludos desde Panamá Dios le bendiga
such design is cool!
How do you make it so they don't use the capsules as only honey?
Wondering what the average harvest time is between each cell wall? One man mentioned in the video they gather 7kg of honey from two blocks. If it is 3.5kg each, how often are they able to get that?
Since the baby's chamber works? And since they treat the beehives or feed the beehives?. Thank you
So they start chewing away the caps and fix things the same day it is drained. That's pretty awesome, it means that they will start filling it again real soon.
so cool love it
How comes from the same beehive there are two different types of honey?
+Minh Bui One in the sun, one in the shade...
Magnific 👏👏👏
I like ur technology. Super
This is amazing.....do you have a site were we can make a purchase order?
man!! what an innovative way to suck out honey without having to disturb the nest!!!.
that's an amazing idea!
No bad 4 bees
How can make this honey house please
Can you explain me?
بسم الل ماشاء الله ...........من فين ممكن احصل على خليه بنفس الطريقة دي
If you want to plant it in a normal house, how will you call it a bee?
How do you know if the cell of honey bee has or not bee spawn ?
Hello are these hives available for selling we are from india this is so fascinating
My Flow Hive did not come with those nice flex tubes, rubber stopper inserts or special jar cap. It came with short straight tubes. Extracting was a mess because there was no good way to cover the honey as it left the tubes into the open jars. I tried plastic wrap and mesh but the bees still swarmed the back side and kept getting into the jar and stuck. I would like to do it like in your video this next time. Where can I get those tubes? What is the tube diameter? Approximately how much honey should I expect from each frame, (pints? Quarts?) so I can plan the jar size without having to swap out mid stream?
Супер! Приятно посмотреть на профессиональный подход!
This cool I love the hives... Am a bee keeper for the last 7 years unfortunately I can't harvest the honey alone. The seems to be easy. Can I get such hives.... En congratulations for your innovation... Am from KENYA
sooo good
Amazing
Honey harvesting is best idea for zombie apocalypse. I should have some before zombie apocalypse starts :D
Do you know if its legal to have a colony in the Los Angeles area? I read somewhere that it depends on your ZIP code but I can't find any other information on it. I remember bees use to be a normal occurrence in my neighborhood 10 years ago and I haven't seen one in probably 7 years. Having fresh organic honey doesn't hurt either :)
Does the plastic have any affect on the bees health? This is a great idea
That's beautiful I would love to have some
Very sweet
Now the bees are going to be like we're the hell the honey go I put here 😆
Fantastic....
How can I get this tool???
Is it possible to get combs out of this box? Or is it forced to be liquid
Hi Savanna, you cannot harvest wax from a Flow™ Frame. Honey comes out of the Flow™ Frames free from wax and ready for the table. All the wax stays in the hive and the bees reuse it. Bees use about 7kg honey to make 1kg of wax, so this aspect of the Flow™ system can improve your hive’s rate of honey production.
To enable harvesting of wax we offer two Flow™ Hybrid Super models that contain both Flow™ Frames and traditional frames. This allows for those that wish to harvest wax and traditional comb from their Flow™ Super. - leah
Amazing way 2 reap the benefit w/o harming, disrupting their lives or destroying their home(s). So innovative.
Thank you :)
FlowHive Just being honest
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 excelent job.
Muy interesante 🌹👍🏻 y con eso no ponen humo a las abejas🤗
Am I correct in saying the cells themselves are already formed for the bees, out of some vinyl or polymer material? Looks like quite the user-friendly, no disturb and get stung operation, but I have concerns about the materials leaching into the honey. Also, as others have stated, there are a variety of uses for which wax would be beneficial.
I believe you can use normal frames that the bees build on normally alongside the Flow frames. That way you can collect wax from the normal frames.
That's amazing ...I hope the bees have enough for them to use.
If you have any honey it means that they had enough, the honey we get is the surplus
Very nice sestem
Question, what if they have some larvae in there and you twist it open?? You cant see the whole rack through the window. What do you do then?
Baby bees and larvae do not get squashed when opening the Flow Frame channels as we have a queen excluder on top of our brood box, this means the queen cannot lay eggs in the Flow Frames as she does not have access to the Flow Super. When harvesting the bees remain undisturbed on the surface of the comb. If there does happen to be a bee down an empty cell it won’t get injured as there is enough space between the comb walls.
That is so cool
How did he get the honey out
Good video
How made this honey house? Please saw.
In this case, do we got a honey comb?
I personally feel that this is one of the latest and the coolest invention of extracting honey out of the hives without being stung, disturbed the bees and destroy the combs.
Please share how have you made this or how to buy this from you.
