How do u buy a hive of bees?? do u just buy a queen ? How long dose it take to grow a hive and how do u maintenance the bees to insure your bees are healthy? How long can a hive/queen last and how do u replace a hive in the change it doesn’t last? How could I simplify a hive as a new beekeeper to make it easier for me? And how many times do I need to do a inspection of the hive? Thanks
Hey there, Thaks for all your questions. Firstly please see this article on the different ways to get bees: support.honeyflow.com/how-do-i-get-bees/ How long the colony will take to grow depends on your unique climate and the colony, the weather, season, what's in bloom etc... it can take any where from a few weeks to a few months for them to fill out the initial brood box. Great and important question regarding how to ensure your bees stay healthy - you learn to identify pests and diseases, conduct hive inspections :) Coupled with your own research, joining your local beekeeping club is a great way to learn this. We also have an online beekeeping course that has a one month free trial you might be interested in: thebeekeeper.org Bees live about 6 weeks but will constantly be making new brood to continue the hive, where a queen can live a couple - even up to 5 years! When she dies the bees will either make a new one or you can purchase a queen and introduce her to the hive. The Flow harvesting technology already does make it easier for the beginner beekeeper in terms of harvesting, but the aforementioned points are really important to ensure healthy bees. How often you inspect depends on your climate and the time of year so again we recommend consulting with your local beekeeping community for best approach in your region :) www.honeyflow.com/pages/bee-club-directory - Danika
I was wondering if anyone from the circle that actually likes the flow frames or maybe someone who's actually used one could answer question I have do you have to harvesting honey from The Brood box or is that something that you don't have to mess with after the initial e put in all the bees in there thank you for anyone who can answer
Is the flow hive as easy to operate as it looks or a little harder. I'm. 35. Years old and a very very very slow l we returner. But when it comes to beekeeping I really know a lot. I hope to hear from you soon. Ross McNamara 😉
Hey Ross, Thanks for your interest :) While you manage the brood box and bees the same as you would with other beekeeping style boxes (which is great you already know a lot) the harvesting is as it appears. In colder climates sometimes the Frames are better cranked with two Flow keys, but typically you'll be harvesting in Spring/Warmer months so it shouldn't often be harder to crank the Flow frames. We have lots of information on our website (support.honeyflow.com/) and customer support via info@honeyflow.com, so if you have any further questions don't hesitate to get in touch :) - Danika
If your hive swarms the colony left behind will either have a virgin queen or will try and raise a new queen. To do this they need eggs less than 3 days old. You will need to inspect the remaining colony and if they don't have a queen or are unable to raise a queen you will need to purchase a queen to requeen your colony. I hope this helps - Leah.

We use the langstroth sizing, you can look at this sizing standard and incorporate the set up into your hives, lots of beekeepers convert in some way to make them fit, or swap to langstroth. -Kieran
How should the hives be oriented - ie: honey frames facing north/S/E/W? Also, should the hives be located in the shade or in the sun - especially at an elevation of 7500 ft in Colorado?
Hey :) As a general rule, bees like to face south/east in the northern hemisphere, and north/east in the southern hemisphere. However, keep in mind the bees are a very adaptive, wild organism and other factors come into play as well, so if you only have somewhere suitable that isn't in this direction the bees will likely adapt to it fine too.

Hi Tony, Her abdomen is significantly longer than the worker bees... we sell a great book by Hilary Kearney called Queenspotting that helps you learn to recognise her: go.honeyflow.com/collections/books/products/queenspotting I hope this helps! - Danika
The Flow Frames hold the surplus of honey the bees bring in but it depend on the season in your area, as to how much the bees need through the colder months, check with local beekeepers as to what is best in your areas. -Kieran
Hi Heiner, that's right- Cedar prefers foundationless frames although you can use any frames you like in the brood box. Here is a great article on the differences. support.honeyflow.com/how-do-i-set-up-flow-hive-brood-frames/ - Sam
I have to have a Queen separator screen to start your 1st brood Box I have a bunch of wild bees on my back porch that come every day to eat the hummingbird shut up and I've been making them serve and I bought a brood Box do I have to have a screen separator in it for the Queen I'm hoping they'll bring her there
When establishing a colony start with just the one box, add the queen excluder when the bees are ready to expand into the Flow Super. You will need to source a bee colony for your hive, as wild foraging bees are not looking for a new home and you need around 10000 bees and a queen to start a colony. -Kieran
I did not one question for you guys at FlowHive. I'm aware that the flow Frames should not be exposed to direct sunlight for long exposures but could you explain why? And what is too much exposure? I ask because flow hives, just by being on the hive, are going to get some exposure to light as well work them. Is it just for long period of time? And what would happen to them if they were left out in direct sunlight for a long time? Thank you
UV is damaging to food grade plastics, much like it is to our skin for long durations, if left in sunlight for hours frequently you could see these becoming brittle the same as if they were over irradiated. Exposure through inspections will not be an issue. -Kieran
How many Queens to a frame or hive? Any Princesses? How often checked? How far away from other animals should the hive be? There is a Black hornets nest close by. I plan on getting rid of. My neighbor has bees. When I install a box... It won't interest with theirs, will it. Will a new female take over and leave his female alone?
Hey Dana, There is just one queen per hive :) In very rare circumstances more have been spotted but this is the general rule. How often you inspect depends on the time of year/the health and history of your hive, but once a week is generally a good rule of thumb if only briefly to check and manage pests/diseases, but it can be less frequent than this, especially in winter this can lessen as the bees prefer to be less disturbed in these months. Your new hive shouldn't interrupt your neighbours, although some colonies do rob weaker hives at times. Your colony shouldn't be concerned about your neighbour's queen though :) To learn more we recommend joining your local beekeeping club.

Slow movements are your friend in beekeeping, the occasional sting on a finger will occur, when beekeeping without gloves, usually from grabbing a bee, or if a colony gets agitated from a sudden movement or bump. Knowing your tolerance to stings and not risking your health is really important. Even with full safety gear you can expect to be stung at some point. A smoker helps to calm the bees but even so inspecting does disturb the colony and make them aggressive. -Kieran
How do you attract a colony other than ensuring that the hive is placed in an area with flowers and fruit trees? How would a Queen know where to go? Should I buy a colony from a beekeeper?

This is really helpful and exactly what I needed. I bought a nucleus in 4 frames from a Bathurst beekeeper in late September. When should i remove those frames and replace them with the 4 Flowhive ones I took out?
one important question. that is. how do you know if all the combs have been capped? as if you do not know. and extract from the combs there could be a content of nectar?

Do bees swarm from your Flow-hives?

I added my top flow box about 3 weeks ago I have looked ontop by lifting the lid and notice there have been about 50 bees just sitting on top Non of them have gone deeper into the flow hive yet What must I do
A good timeframe to go by for a strong colony is 2-8 weeks for them to expand into a new space, in a good season. 50 bees is a very little, amount send through pictures from your next brood box inspection to info@honeyflow.com so we can determine if the bees are ready to expand, and help further with the delay. -Kieran
@@FlowHive there are lots of bees going in and out of brood box So it is strong There are about 50 sitting o top of the flow hive flow frames Maybe I put the super on about 4 weeks ago Thanks for your help
Hey Graham, at around 36:22 Cedar demonstrates the coreflute slider tray we have in the Classics, as well as the pest management tray used in the more recent Flow Hive 2 models :)
In our area, we don't need to do this, we can simply leave the last harvest of the season for the bees, or carry out a partial harvest. In some areas having a second brood box is a good idea, to ensure the bees have additional honey stores for themselves. -Kieran
There can only be one queen. they will fight to the death and the strongest one will win. But usually they will swarm and the other queen will leave with a bunch of bees and look for a new hive.
If you receive a package of bees. And the queen and maybe 15 or so bees are alive. With no drawn cone in a new hive. What can I do to make them survive.
Hi Monroe, it's important to consult with local beekeepers who can advise you what your bees will need in your particular climate. Good luck and please let us know how you go! - Sam
You would not want to remove bee eggs from the comb, you can always move a brood frame filled with eggs into another hive that doesn't have any eggs to help with rearing a new queen bee. -Kieran
Interesting. Basically it's where ever the queen is. A queen excluder being in place stops her going up to the top of the hive. Bees also have a natural tendency to build up and out from their entrance with brood being closest to the entrance. -Kieran
Speak with your neighbours if you think it might be an issue with them a jar of honey goes a long way to sweeten the deal. Usually it is a lack of insight that scares most people. Beekeeping in a suburban back yard is totally possible, even on a apartment balcony. You will just need to check with local rules. Placement of a hive so its not pointing in the way of everyday foot traffic is important. -Kieran
Dan, many beekeepers have their hives close together in their apiaries. In terms of how close the hives can be, half a metre is a good spacing, as it will ensure easy navigating between the hives. It is good to keep them facing in the same direction, to best ensure flight paths don't cross in close proximity. - Leah.
Why is your product so costly?? Plus you did mention that tool is not included with the purchase of w flowhive, That's a bloody rip off really, for that cost it should be included in the set!😮😮
Keep in mind it removes the need for convention expensive harvesting equipment, Namely, Centrifuge, Wax knife, Filtering equipment. As well as the space, maintenance, running costs and clean up of harvesting equipment. Some beekeepers may already have all of this, and the change over could seem daunting when looking at a complete hive. In which case you could look at adding the Flow Frames to an existing setup.
13:20 He does say to put questions in comments below the video but you are correct @Jeanette, they are not being answered. @Tom It’s you’re pathetic, not “your pathetic”.
This is a facebook video that they've then also put on youtube at a later time - when he says they'll answer questions he means in real time on the facebook video, not the you tube video.
Hello....there will not be any bees in the stater package, you´ll have to get some bees and a queen, so good luck with your bees/honey. Best regards from Thomas, Denmark

Why do you have so many hives so close together. Shouldn't they be spaced much farther apart.
Dan, many beekeepers have their hives close together in their apiaries. In terms of how close the hives can be, half a metre is a good spacing, as it will ensure easy navigating between the hives. It is good to keep them facing in the same direction, to best ensure flight paths don't cross in close proximity. - Leah.

Why is your product so costly??
Plus you did mention that tool is not included with the purchase of w flowhive,
That's a bloody rip off really, for that cost it should be included in the set!😮😮
Keep in mind it removes the need for convention expensive harvesting equipment, Namely, Centrifuge, Wax knife, Filtering equipment. As well as the space, maintenance, running costs and clean up of harvesting equipment. Some beekeepers may already have all of this, and the change over could seem daunting when looking at a complete hive. In which case you could look at adding the Flow Frames to an existing setup.
You say you’ll answer questions in the comments yet none of the comments are answered. So much for customer service.
Jeannette Hernandez your pathetic
13:20 He does say to put questions in comments below the video but you are correct @Jeanette, they are not being answered.
@Tom It’s you’re pathetic, not “your pathetic”.
@@tomgillespie195 It's not her pathetic, she does not own it.
This is a facebook video that they've then also put on youtube at a later time - when he says they'll answer questions he means in real time on the facebook video, not the you tube video.
They answer a few, but not all.
How can you split the hive? I am new, and ignorant, but if you are selling starter hives, do they not need a queen?
Hello....there will not be any bees in the stater package, you´ll have to get some bees and a queen, so good luck with your bees/honey. Best regards from Thomas, Denmark
