you are probally right because it takes long for bees to get the nectar and convert it into honey for to make honey bees have to vomit into another ones mouth,repeat,put it in a honeycomb after it and then fam it with their wings.Did you know 1.5 teaspoons of honey is made by 10 bees?
Laurence - now that looks a professional way of 'doing it'. This is admirable because you can add your Flow Hive skills to the other achievements such as your award winning honey ? Best wishes
I brought the Chinese nock off one still cost £220 had it in my garden last year until my daughter took a sting to the face. I then got some permission to keep my hives on a farm. So didn’t really get to settle down so I’m hoping nxt year it gets used 🐝
You take the flow super off of the brood chamber because it's not ideal for winterization. They should have enough honey in there and if they don't you feed them sugar.
@@theinvestorsperspective6142 I'm going to dumb this statement down to layman terms. I just started beekeeping 3 months ago. Your location and climate matter a lot! You need to check locally for specifics, but I'm general: throughout the summer we can take from the top half, called the super, and as fall comes we need to let the bees build their supply back up. They'll eat from their honey supply during the cold winter months. In extreme places you may need to cover the hive but I'm not hearing about a need for that in the central Midwest where I live.
My buddy had one he loved it of course you cant keep them on all year but they def work. You just jave to know your honeys if it crystallizes really havest sooner est
Honey bees aren't native to the America's. We only need them on large scale monocroppers who use herbicide and pesticides simultaneously killing almost all native pollinators. Even then when they time the sprays right, they don't need pollination services.
If your bees bring back some nectar that has a lot of dextrose in it, like canola, then it will probably crystallise in the frames. So you would just have to heat it up to make it flow. Otherwise it is pretty similar to langstroth frames.
These don’t fit in a langstroth box really well. I’m running 7 in a 19’frame and had to cut up an inner cover to put over them, then a regular inner cover then the telescoping top cover.
Hola Where we parked in is a Ranch and we’ve seen many of these Bees and have been killing them because of the stung and I’m particularly interested in setting up a good place for them since they’ve refused to go . Please I need Step by step on how to set up a good one like yours. Quite impressive.
That's kinda rude. No, very rude. They're for sale, no one is going to show you how to build what they spent years figuring out and perfecting, for you to manufacture them steal their sales. Entitled much?
I just added my super, I melted some bee's wax and used a foam roller on all the honey frames. no sign yet of them up there yet. Fingers crossed since all my blackberries are in full bloom and my wild flowers will be next.
I have 7 FlowHives out of my 20 or so hives, and I love them! They are amazing!!!
hello friend how can i contact you i want to ask somethinng
You’re 🤥 a lot
where is your apiary
Love this idea of "no mess" pipe assembly.
What is your curve pipe and from where did you get it? Is it food safe? Very impressed.
Silicone hose, can get it from most automotive shops
The bees are saying, hey stop stealing are honey! Do you know how long it took us to make that?!!😂
Guess we're not that different from bees

This how the government got us with taxes lmao
They make extra. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship. The humans protect the bees. The bees pay a honey tax.

They’re just too expensive. I can get like 4 working big hives for the price of one of those.
My flowhive works so well I bought a 2nd one for this year! I love love love flow hive!!!
Post a video of it
Where did you buy it ?

@@TheBritishbeemanhello could I possibly get the link the to the product? Seems very cheap which is good since im on a tight budget.
@@alejandrogarcia43 only thing I would recommend is get a different queen excluded as the wood bar ones are pony
Mine Flow works fine but I like your harvesting apparatus!
I have seen a lot of people hate on this but ultimately pretty much everyone ive seen who actually owns one loves them a shit ton
not me
"Hey yall she back, pull out the tube Ben"...
if you've become a beekeeper, maintain strong colonies, and keep mites at bay,...then flow hives stop being a novelty,
Ours took a while to get the bees using it but they are filling it now
Should call the IRS our Beekeepers
But does the honey have a plastic taste, does it affect bees??
Thinking about getting into this. How do the bees survive the winter if you take their honey?
You don’t harvest it all, just a portion of it.
You take the flow super off of the brood chamber because it's not ideal for winterization. They should have enough honey in there and if they don't you feed them sugar.
They couldn't possibly use all the honey they make constantly

Can frames for flow hive fit into regular wooden hives?
Those complaining likely have knockoffs. And bees swarm regardless of hive set up
"bees swarm regardless of hive set up" now that's just false. There are so many ways to control swarming behavior
Hey want to get one but need to know, do you need a bee suit to use it or avoid getting stung?
Regardless of the hive, you will have to do inspections and maintenance. So, yes. Still need a suit.
@Nugacat Don't go cheap on the gloves either.

Does the honey crystallize? How heavy is the flow hive super?
So what are the points to fix in a flow hive?
Cockatoos are such banshees 😂 or harpies really. When its all peaceful and im enjoying the garden I'll get jumpscared by them 😂
Thats really cool! Keep it up
Wow where can i get that kond of beehive?
Bees are kept, because we need bees, not because we need honey.
Honey bees aren't native to the America's. We only need them on large scale monocroppers who use herbicide and pesticides simultaneously killing almost all native pollinators. Even then when they time the sprays right, they don't need pollination services.
Your !;! Smarter than the others. Salute !;!;!
If your bees bring back some nectar that has a lot of dextrose in it, like canola, then it will probably crystallise in the frames. So you would just have to heat it up to make it flow. Otherwise it is pretty similar to langstroth frames.
Langstroth frames are the same to these you say? What are the points to be fixed in these flow hives point by point?
Each frame comes assembled already and they fit into deep langstroth supers. But they are wide so about 6 fit into an 8 frame box.
These don’t fit in a langstroth box really well. I’m running 7 in a 19’frame and had to cut up an inner cover to put over them, then a regular inner cover then the telescoping top cover.
Yeah I noticed my migratory lids don't sit down quite flat but my bees don't care. I use fly screen cut to size for inner cover. Works great.
I prefer the methodical process of manually extracting, personally. It's not for productivity. It is therapy.
Yeah me too especially bc u dont get no honey comb from these kind of hives
Messing up the bees is therapeutic? This is some vampire mentality
@@jakubkopak9954 Messing up the bees? Are you serious? You don't harm them at all.
@@GoatyHerps Not at all? Why do you need protective gear then?
@Jakub Kołpak For the same reason you wear gloves when you give a cat or a dog a bath.
The animals don't always understand.

How can I get it in India?

Did you do it?
So what is its major draw back...
Are you able to extract the honeycomb from these?
You can pull a little from the extreme sides of the brood (bottom) box. Flow shows this on one of their videos. Only do it early in the season tho.
I'm exited to actually start beekeeping I had no idea people said flow hives where bad that was gonna be my first hive choice
The point of the post is claiming that they aren’t bad mate
Guitar sounds like Shawn James
Not sure OSR spring honey would flow so easy 😂😂
Diferent tecnology
Diferent type of working
For the same principle
This is great but what about microplastics?
cool
What are the flaws?
Don’t they get jammed with wax and propolis after a while?
Whaattt. The cool
Is it real one or Chinese one? Thank you
I have both. They are both awesome :D
Nice, I bought Chinese one in June and my bees still didn’t feel plastic frames not sure why
@@pashagrymalovskyi1862 ours took almost a whole season to warm up to it.
@tinfoilhatclub I’ve seen bees make hives in a rubber tyre. As well as in a concrete drain - which are definitely not food grade.
Shame on you for using stolen technology. You’re supporting theft. Just unsubscribed from your Channel.
You'd probably have far more honey if you could spin it out
You get piney wood bees they will glue it and gum it up so bad you will hate the fact you dropped that coin in a hole
FLOW
Liking a lot
me!
Ppl just don’t have a mech make d set to think through the issue. Cause The flow sys is simple that a cave man can do it…
Gimmick.
have you used one for a season?
@@BlackMountainHoney yup.
@@Flaccid_Banana Sure.
I want to know where to buy or learn how to make that kind of technology.
No one said it bud
Please send me the full video of manufacturing of this device

I just added my super, I melted some bee's wax and used a foam roller on all the honey frames. no sign yet of them up there yet.
Fingers crossed since all my blackberries are in full bloom and my wild flowers will be next.
Probably because of poor beekeeping.
