The folks complaining about you taking all the honey and not leaving any for the bees, don't understand how this works. That is what the other one or two boxes are for. You don't leave the flow super on during the winter. You all did a great job congrats. You don't get that kind of production without being great beekeepers

Can you tell me how you start one of these? If this only for professionals? Because I am NOT lol. I know you buy the hive and it’s like 800$ but how do you get bees in it? Do you just set it up in ur yard pour honey on it and hope bees come? We r wanting to start a garden as well and bees are great for gardens? Where does a newbie start?

That's great, but what about the honey going all through the hive, causing all that clean up in the first place? Not liking that at all. Bees can drown from having puddles of honey in their hive. If the Flow frames can't be made to not leak through the hive at all, then it's a very bad design. The normal method of harvesting honey is gonna disturb them a lot less than making them clean their entire hive of all that honey that you've just spilled everywhere.

I have not read all 928 comments, the ones I have read have missed one important point. It takes the bees far more energy to make wax than honey. By not having to rebuild comb such as with a top bar hive or rebuild much of it with a langstroth hive they can produce more honey in a flow hive over a given season. Any time there is change people bad mouth it. Time will tell if this works or not. If the plastic holds up, If the bees prosper.

great video! We have a flow hive (here in Australia) and also had some honey leak down and through the hive. We found if you crack the frames in increments- it is not only easier to turn the handle- but if you wait 5 minutes between increments the flow is not so great- the tube doesn't fill entirely and less honey leaks. You could also place a few bits of wood under the front of the hive to increase the tilt towards the rear so the honey flows out faster. Also if you remove the coreflute bottom- and place a metal or plastic tray there you can catch the honey and put the tray in front of the hive for the bees to clean up once you are done. Happy Flow Hivnig!

I know absolutely nothing about Bee Keeping, so be gentle. Came across this Flow Hive while watching something else ... and I find it a very, VERY cool innovation. Anyhow, from what I have learned watching numerous Flow Hive vids, apparently after the 1st harvest the bees wax-up that area near the flow holes, which prevents that issue of loss in your flow... and the 2nd harvest would be even higher yield, less mess/"waste"(gets recycled anyhow). ALSO, I believe you were supposed to move that bottom panel (the "drip tray" as I would think of it) to the upper slot. Nice job ... I sure do love honey. LOL. Good luck!

why would you say lazy people ? I work 7 days a week i don't have time to be lazy. because of this brilliant design it makes the time i have free to collect honey so much more easy. I got bees to improve my market garden pollination. Don't assume this style of bee keeping is for lazy people. Bee happy that people embrace new technology.

Garlic Guy Okay it is for lazy people, people afraid to touch or work around bees, and people that don't have enough time to properly maintain a hive. Is that better now?

I don't know if anyone else has said this already, but the reason it's leaking at the bottom is that you didn't have your board on the top level. : ) Honey will inevitably drip down, but if you have the board up then the bees can catch and reuse the dripped honey. The FlowHive KZitem channel did address this issue.

do the bees try to sting you when collecting the honey?

Well done 45 pounds of honey in June is worth a silver spoon and honey in July not worth a fly meaning your might be ready to swarm. The best advice is know a good beekeeper to assist your hive make sure that the flow hive supers are made of PET or Nylon otherwise the plastic degrades and becomes brittle and when using detergents also degrades plastics. Well at 900 dollars a hive it's very expensive and if the super frames last 4 years after cleaning and change of temperature during the seasons.

Allah (God) says in the Noble Quran about bees theses Quranic verses: ( And your Lord inspired the bees, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect, Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think).

What state are you in? What time of year did you harvest? I assume you left enough for them to eat over winter? I’m still trying to learn but your video is so great. Looks really easy! I’d love to see more.

You may have updated it in a future video, but the honey leak I saw at the bottom you were worried about can be mitigated by simply not turning the key fully but only 1/3 of the way according to others using the FlowHive facing the same issue. Perhaps try that and let us know if that helped! Thanks for taking care of the bees with this newer system :)

One of the concerns about the Flow Hive that I thought would be a very legitimate concern was that once you harvest the honey, how many of the cells are still capped but empty. This would make the bees think that they were full and during the winter when they needed the honey, the cell would be uncapped and would have nothing in them and could cause a starvation problem. Have you looked at the emptied frames and see if that is the case?
@Sikosm

I think the process of harvesting the honey cracks the caps.
@sarahsherwood8530

When you turn the handle to harvest the honey it actually shifts the pre-built "honey comb" inside. This cracks the wax without disturbing the bees too much. It is probably worth checking anyway, just in case.

In theory bees will recycle cracked wax, but in just a theory. Never saw a log on YT about it.
@HappyBearAcres

The bees can feel underfoot that the cells are empty and get right to work on removing the caps, cleaning them out, and filling the cells with honey again. It only took them a few days to start filling again, kind of amazing! :)

I know that they recycle cracked wax, but what if the bee side is not cracked and only the inside cracked and drained the honey. That is what I was referring.
