Bees really are the most majestic insects. They're underappreciated and feared when all they do is help so long as you don't provoke them. Even then, when you bother them a bit, they're usually so relaxed and docile. Truly the most wonderful insects.
No idea how I got here either, but I'm happy that this guy seems to have made a great product, for his passion, and now he can retire on the fruits of spreading his hobby to other's. Just seemed like a really nice guy.
I love how professional he is at keeping his bees. A fancy beehive, and fancy way of harvesting honey, and it’s in a fancy spot. I love it, even though I know nothing about beekeeping.
I ordered from the Kickstarter campaign in 2015 or 2016 when it first started. Got my hive delivered later in 2018 and finally set it up this spring. Just harvested my first 3KG's of fresh hive honey from 2 frames! I'll get the rest tomorrow. My life will never be the same, and I'm a hobby beekeeper for life now. Thanks FLOW
What I will say about the flow hive, is that if you have the money for one, and you aren't doing this for profit, then these are awesome. That being said, they take up a lot more space than a normal frame, and they are EXPENSIVE. What this ends up meaning is that your going to get less honey per harvest than with a standard langstroth hive with normal boxes. We usually harvest 3-4 times a year. Our first harvest is of the honey that we left them for winter(I always leave a full super for my girls), and we treat them for varroa at the same time. Next harvest is end of spring to mid summer, depending on how the supers look. Final harvest is mid to late October when we set the hive up for their winter. Anything over that one super gets harvested. Personally I love long hives, but these really are clever. I have a single hive set up with them, but it does produce less, and once the box starts to come apart I will probably get rid of it because you have to make concessions for the convenience.
@@rainnmoon114 a super is what you keep the honey in. You keep the queen and the brood chambers lower in the hive, and then above you have the honey supers. Hives boxes are going to deteriorate over time no matter what. You can't really paint them once they're in use. What we normally do is swap out the boxes and change the frames into a refurbished box, and then we either decide to refurbish or discard the box that we have removed. You can get 3 to 5 years of life out of a box before it needs refurb and repaint. Honey flow system is really nifty, but it produces about 30% less honey per super. That's not a bad thing, my grandfather is getting older and the convenience of it allows him to continue working with his bees. On a business level though they're not really an option.
@@johnb8440 I see. I actually wanted to start getting into bee keeping and then I came across this flow hive thing. It looks good for beginners. Thanks for the explanation! :D
@@rainnmoon114 for the most part, bees keep themselves. My job is to make sure they have space for resources, that they have resources through the winter, and that there aren't parasites affecting them. Beyond that, they mostly handle it themselves.
Keeping bees means a beautiful garden, a bountiful veggie patch, loads of honey, and a ton of beeswax. I wish there were more urban beekeepers because it would cut down on badly placed natural hives that tend to disturb humans.
Hi Danny, harvesting with the Flow Hive is a gentle process which doesn't usually disturb the bees, after a time the bees figure out that the honey is gone and they start uncapping and refilling the cells - clever bees! - Sam
This is absolutely beautiful, to see honey harvested without disturbing the bees, making it safer for both bees and beekeepers alike. I would definitely love to give this a go :) beeswould have a field day in my lavender
Bees: oh yeah gurl look at all them full honeycombs! 15minutes later.. Bees: WTF lass! where's all the honey!? guess we gotta fill them again now init!
Beekeepers leave some honey for the bees. A queen excluder is between the bottom of the hive and the supers atop that. The drones make honey in all chambers of the hive, but the queen is in the bottom part of the hive and that is where she lays her eggs. The supers are the parts of the hive that are "robbed" or harvested.
Wait, so since you're not cutting the wax caps off but draining the cells from the inside, how do the bees know to open the caps back up? How do they know the honey inside is gone? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding how these work.
@@EdwardOskarsson ....what kills them long-term? My question was how do the bees know to open the caps back up, not whether this system works over time. My question was about the behavior of the bees. They clearly do know when the cell has been drained, so they chew the wax cap off and start again. But HOW do they know? Something like that wouldn't happen in nature, so you'd think if they saw the wax cap still on they'd assume honey was still in there and just leave it.

@@DocScience2 well I can promise you my flow hive is 100% real and works very nicely - perhaps you should go back to your make-believe bible story world and let the adults do the real work
Hi Ethan, that is a great question! We have found the bees will sense the cells are empty and begin the uncapping, re-waxing and refilling process straight away. Usually they finish uncapping all the cells in a day or two. A busy hive will uncap all the cells in a day or two. If the hive is not so busy it may take longer. We have seen a not so busy hive take a week to finish uncapping the cells on the outside frames. After they have uncapped the cells they will begin the process of refilling the cells with honey - leah
Sky Walker, that's why they suggest waiting for the cells to all be capped. Honey is very watery when the bees first put it in a cell. They then spend time fanning it with their wings in the warm hive, which evaporates out most of the water. The bees won't cap it until they're happy with the consistency of the honey. So if the bees have capped it, the honey is ready.
Sakura Miyamoto yeah, but how would you know if all the cells are capped, you really can't see inner honey cells from the outside and to make it worse, bees usually start capping honey from the sides so it might look like alls the cells are fully capped when it's actually not
They don't just produce more than they need, it's for a reason. They are not sure how much they need so they gather lots. The next year starts and they have access to extra they can now split the hive and spread out and keep the colony growing. It's like how we as humans stock pile stuff to use when we start to run out. I'm actually curious if this guy needs to get queens constantly because the hive leaves. Taking their honey all the time, they aren't stupid bugs they are really intelligent and they do talk to each other.
I just found this extraordinarily amazing I never saw anything like this before and I am amazed I used to be a beekeeper years ago and only in a video just before watching yours did someone mention about the the honey flow system it's amazing thank you very much God bless you
This seems like a much easier process for harvesting honey than I’ve seen in other videos, but I wonder, don’t you have to remove the wax caps so they can refill it with honey?
Bees will actually realize on their own that those are empty, remove the wax caps and start filling them again and reseal it with wax when done and then the process starts all over again.
@@KiLLJoYTH-cam Well, they are bees, they do not have the most biggest and evolved brains out there and to them it just looks like they have more space for honey. Even if we did not take their honey, bees have a bad habit of making so much of it, that they themselves can't consume all, so the honey that is left will eventually crystallize and become unusable, so the bees just go "Oh well, time to make more storage space!" without even cleaning the previous mess, meaning that their hives will just keep growing and the honey they do not consume will just keep crystallizing, meaning needing to make more space etc etc... Bees will just keep doing what they were born to do, they do not have any higher thoughts about it like us humans, so they don't really care that they keep doing work for nothing, doing said work is their lives entire purpose after all. It could be worse for the bees, since there are plenty of other creatures out there that would simply destroy their entire nest to have their honey, us humans are more gentle about it, taking it without making them lose their home and then having to use time and effort to rebuild it, while also of course making sure they do have enough for themselves to consume, both parties benefit from this arrangement. Humans get some honey and the bees have a safe home to be in and making sure that the nest itself is healthy for their continued existence.
Never kept bees, but always been very interested with honey harvests and the bees in general and when my local bee keeper got one of these the difference I've seen is amazing!!! She says she gets way more honey from the flow hives and the bees fill them much quicker then the normal hives. Plus each frame tastes slightly different. Plus if I'm lucky even I can help with harvesting! It's so easy and satisfying to watch and be part of xxx
Though I do not have the room in my backyard for a flow hive I still love this. Its such a cool invention and it doesn't harm the bees in the slightest, and at the same time it makes so much honey! Hopefully the use of this invention will help the world bee population.
This would be so awesome to do. I’m going to keep researching this. Really I wanted to learn about medicinal honey infusions but this video helps me even more. I could become a bee keeper work for the bees and they’ll pay me in honey. Thanks
i'm bookmarking this shit. my grandparents used to keep bees and the honey harvesting was a huge effort even with the whole family, absolutely dream-like and amazing but also a giant undertaking. this is system actually genius.
Skip_ according to all known laws of aviation there is no way a bee should be able to fly, its wings are to small to get its fat little body off the ground... lol
Salene Brom It seems that way but the more I review it the more pitfalls I see with it. If you are not in a rush for the honey and are willing to leave it long past when you THINK it is ready then this would be good. But from what I have researched it, you can not tell when they come is fully filled and properly aged without still taking it out. It's a very expensive learning hive if leaving the bees alone is more important than getting the honey.
+Tom Leeds In that case don't buy the complete hive. Get a cheaper learning hive locally or build one yourselves. Some wood, a saw, some screws and a screwdrive is probably al you need. And if inexperienced just some perseverance in adjusting and fixing your build. An existing hive is easy to adjust to fit some flowframes. Then you only have to order 3 or 4 flowframes and put it in your hive. And even that you could decide on later when you've succeeded with your first trials :).
+jo han wtf? Why would anyone waste their time building your own hives when you can buy boxes for $25, bottom board $18, lids $15 flat packed, frames are $2 wired, excluder $10. Comb you buy per sheet... Making hives yourself is not easy But you’re right the flow frames can fit into modified standard boxes.
+ liljiljana as I understand it they were paid for the invention... this was crowd funded at just under 12.5 million I'd say that should cover any invention costs... don't get me wrong they should make a profit!!! Personally I think there price is a to high but I have no idea what their costs are. Sadly with my income I don't know if I'll be able to afford one, till the price comes down a bit but I can't get bee's till next year at the absolute earliest anyways...
I wanted to be a beekeeper but the materials are very much expensive cant afford it. I enjoy watching these kind of vids. Hoping to be one, one day. From Philippines🐝💙
Hi Kenneth, we realise that our Flow Hive is a big investment - some of this can be offset against the need to buy extraction equipment etc. Our Flow Frames are available separately in sets of 3, 4, 6 and 7. These are designed to be used with existing Langstroth deep hives and can be purchased with or without a super box. Here is a link to our instructions on how to modify a Super box to fit the Flow Frames - support.honeyflow.com/modifying-a-langstroth-box-for-flow-frames/ Please email us via info@honeyflow.com with your location if you'd like to know what the most economical options are in your area - Leah.

They're only docile because we bred them to be that way. Europeans have been domesticating honey bees for hundreds if not thousands of years.

Keeping bees means a beautiful garden, a bountiful veggie patch, loads of honey, and a ton of beeswax. I wish there were more urban beekeepers because it would cut down on badly placed natural hives that tend to disturb humans.
except this will not encourage bees to produce much beeswax.
Flowhive really does not help the bees though
It helps the artificial bees. The hive is much less obtrusive or dangerous to health of the bees, allowing the colony to survive.

@@hyena1268 why do they replace it? Don’t they realise they’re doing work for nothing?
@@KiLLJoYTH-cam Well, they are bees, they do not have the most biggest and evolved brains out there and to them it just looks like they have more space for honey. Even if we did not take their honey, bees have a bad habit of making so much of it, that they themselves can't consume all, so the honey that is left will eventually crystallize and become unusable, so the bees just go "Oh well, time to make more storage space!" without even cleaning the previous mess, meaning that their hives will just keep growing and the honey they do not consume will just keep crystallizing, meaning needing to make more space etc etc... Bees will just keep doing what they were born to do, they do not have any higher thoughts about it like us humans, so they don't really care that they keep doing work for nothing, doing said work is their lives entire purpose after all. It could be worse for the bees, since there are plenty of other creatures out there that would simply destroy their entire nest to have their honey, us humans are more gentle about it, taking it without making them lose their home and then having to use time and effort to rebuild it, while also of course making sure they do have enough for themselves to consume, both parties benefit from this arrangement. Humans get some honey and the bees have a safe home to be in and making sure that the nest itself is healthy for their continued existence.
@@KiLLJoYTH-cam why don't you go ahead and create a union for bees?
Never kept bees, but always been very interested with honey harvests and the bees in general and when my local bee keeper got one of these the difference I've seen is amazing!!! She says she gets way more honey from the flow hives and the bees fill them much quicker then the normal hives. Plus each frame tastes slightly different. Plus if I'm lucky even I can help with harvesting! It's so easy and satisfying to watch and be part of xxx
This video appears to contradict the instruction manual that accompanied the flow kit in how to reset the frames
Though I do not have the room in my backyard for a flow hive I still love this. Its such a cool invention and it doesn't harm the bees in the slightest, and at the same time it makes so much honey! Hopefully the use of this invention will help the world bee population.
Thank you Nate.
Your welcome
Nate The Caveman how does this not harm the bees?
richard witt How would it? None of them are getting hurt in any way.

This would be so awesome to do. I’m going to keep researching this. Really I wanted to learn about medicinal honey infusions but this video helps me even more. I could become a bee keeper work for the bees and they’ll pay me in honey. Thanks
The way this guy talks is so relaxing, I love it
what a technology.. it took honey from the hive withou bother the bees.. awesome..
Fahmi Meiwardhani it's not worth paying 500$ more
Morrison64 It is if you plan on keeping a hive for more than a year. Makes collecting honey so much easier and less messy too.
True
That's well worth the cost instead of getting an extraction machine and having to manually uncap the combs and harvesting the honey.

This video is so calm. And his voice is so soft. I'm definitely buying this now.
Yea. Right.
did ya end up buying 1?

Thank you for sharing this video with US, I wish I can leanr from you
I hope they share it with UK too
You're learning by watching this? You can literally see what he's doing.

You're learning from him by watching his videos you moron hahahahahaaa
I think you mean "i hope WE learn from you" 😏

i'm bookmarking this shit. my grandparents used to keep bees and the honey harvesting was a huge effort even with the whole family, absolutely dream-like and amazing but also a giant undertaking. this is system actually genius.
Holy bee i just watched a vid b4 this and thought it was labor extensive but this is another level. What a superb contraption
ya like jazz?
Skip_ yes
Skip_ The Adds
Skip_ according to all known laws of aviation there is no way a bee should be able to fly, its wings are to small to get its fat little body off the ground... lol
David Knight Now it is
I got the bees knees
This feels like the last upgrade you would get if you have a beekeeping idle farming game
I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm enjoying it
Whoa, cool. Didn't know there were hives set up like this. That was super satisfying :)
Love this channel. When I retire someday, I want to be a beekeeper. You inspire me! 🐝

I'm so glad that I'm becoming less afraid of bees. They're so amazing
My God. Here in Brazil we have a process completely different. I'm starting with the apiculture. I liked this video
Ingenious! What a safe and productive way of beekeeping....Love it! Hence subscribing the channel in a heart beat!
Bruh, you're so cool! I'm definitely investing in one of these as soon as I learn to properly take care of bees!
Keeping bees is truly peaceful, when I am older I might set up my own.
Wow you're soo lucky you might make it till old age I don't expect to reach 2020
that it is, i find it very calming
But shooting aliens still kick ass right?
@@ls200076 ya its pretty cool
I think i might to keeping bees also one day and enjoy some honey everyday
Damn I want to be a Honey farmer now.

I find bees SO FRICKIN ADORABLE! I love the way they strut around xD
It's a sticky business, but someone's gotta do it. Hehe! Thanks for the video. I was raging from bad news, now I feel much better.
Como faço pra comprar moro no Brasil
I’m actually jealous you have this all that fresh delicious honey
Lets be honest. None of us searched for this but are glad it exists.
어우 꿀 색깔 진한 것 봐. 양도 많네. 호주꿀 먹어보고 싶다
정말 맛있다
I've wanted to keep bees for years, this seems ideal. My interest is more in the bees than the honey but I do love honey!
Seems faaaaar less stressful for the bees
Salene Brom It seems that way but the more I review it the more pitfalls I see with it. If you are not in a rush for the honey and are willing to leave it long past when you THINK it is ready then this would be good. But from what I have researched it, you can not tell when they come is fully filled and properly aged without still taking it out.
It's a very expensive learning hive if leaving the bees alone is more important than getting the honey.
+Tom Leeds In that case don't buy the complete hive. Get a cheaper learning hive locally or build one yourselves. Some wood, a saw, some screws and a screwdrive is probably al you need. And if inexperienced just some perseverance in adjusting and fixing your build. An existing hive is easy to adjust to fit some flowframes. Then you only have to order 3 or 4 flowframes and put it in your hive. And even that you could decide on later when you've succeeded with your first trials :).
jo han Thanks for the advise.
+jo han wtf? Why would anyone waste their time building your own hives when you can buy boxes for $25, bottom board $18, lids $15 flat packed, frames are $2 wired, excluder $10. Comb you buy per sheet... Making hives yourself is not easy
But you’re right the flow frames can fit into modified standard boxes.
Awesome system and great insight of the process. Thanks for sharing the journey
My mom got into beekeeping with these flow hives. They are really nifty. Bees in general are also surprisingly easy to work with.
Wow, this is really quite cool! Talk about some awesome features! Thanks for sharing; it was really quite beautiful and fascinating!
Did not think I would watch
this entire video but I did.. lol I love raw honey👍🏾
👌👌👌👍👍👍
What is prize
i wish the hives were cheaper
+Nev v Quality costs money.
+Nev v You pay for invention also!!!
+ljiljana stanikic That and you save money by not having to buy equipment you would need to manually extract
+Drone Guy Scam! won't work
+ liljiljana as I understand it they were paid for the invention... this was crowd funded at just under 12.5 million I'd say that should cover any invention costs... don't get me wrong they should make a profit!!! Personally I think there price is a to high but I have no idea what their costs are. Sadly with my income I don't know if I'll be able to afford one, till the price comes down a bit but I can't get bee's till next year at the absolute earliest anyways...

I wanted to be a beekeeper but the materials are very much expensive cant afford it. I enjoy watching these kind of vids. Hoping to be one, one day. From Philippines🐝💙
Hi Kenneth, we realise that our Flow Hive is a big investment - some of this can be offset against the need to buy extraction equipment etc. Our Flow Frames are available separately in sets of 3, 4, 6 and 7. These are designed to be used with existing Langstroth deep hives and can be purchased with or without a super box.
Here is a link to our instructions on how to modify a Super box to fit the Flow Frames - support.honeyflow.com/modifying-a-langstroth-box-for-flow-frames/
Please email us via info@honeyflow.com with your location if you'd like to know what the most economical options are in your area - Leah.
It's just amazing how bees do that
i have my own bee hive and just cleared out all the honey it was beautiful. nice vid bro keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing this, Angus. That is great to hear. We'd love to follow your beekeeping journey. Please feel free to share updates on your progress, photos, and insights into your beekeeping experiences.
Curious what happens with the wax left behind. Do they realize that the honey is gone and recycle it or do you have to scrape it off?
The bees remove the capping so the frames can be refilled :) - Isobella.
That's a dope set up. First time I've seen those boxes
