I purchased an entire system.. I understand that you guys are way behind in shipping... was originally slated to arrive here in Oct-Dec of 2015... nothing yet. Can't wait to receive the gear so I can get on with modifications and prepare for spring here... thank you for this video as it gives those of us who are still waiting, something to do in preparation :) Thanks again!
Hi Stuart, as mentioned a while back, I have just converted one of your Hybrid Supers that were designed to have part Flow Frames & part traditional pine frames, into a full a Flow Frame Super. Why did I do this: because after a few harvests of Langstroth frames, I just could not see the reasoning, other than NATURAL COMB, which is another story. Watching you with that jig saw, calmly cut out a curve, plus duplicate the same on the other side, just needs another post/comment . That comment is this: It is NOT as easy as you have done it! Respect to you Stuart! A jig saw is no easy precision tool to use for cutting accurate lines for small pieces/projects, let alone curves that you duplicate . Yet it is all in how much experience you have, the quality of your tools & your skill & confidence. What you did in the first few minutes of this video, has taken me a few hours in my workshop! So well done & thanks for sharing. For what it's worth, I believe that Flow needs to really involve the Commercial Beekeepers, who are mainly Langstroth hive beekeepers. This considered way you have done this upgrade can only help the pro beekeepers realize the many benefits on both the beekeeper & the bee colonies, to go FLOW!
Great to watch you at work on what is to be my next project. Having used a jig saw often, it is easy to recognise your skills keeping to the intended track of the blade, which looks easy when done by an experienced/competent person, but so darn hard for the majority of us. I need to convert a Hybrid Flow Super that is meant for 4 Flow Frames and the rest in traditional frames, into a 7 Flow Frame Super. Initially I was keen to use a Hybrid with both the old frames & 4 of your Flow Frames. However, after doing some harvests of Langstorf frame/hives, I just can't see the point in using traditional frames when there's a better way available. Your Flow Frames are so much easier/less destructive to use, especially for the bees. That is the point, really, when it comes down to it, the Flow Frames make it so much less trouble for the bee colony. The fact that it also easier for the beekeeper is a major bonus! Cheers!
This was really good. As far as it went. I came mostly to see viewing windows installation, what material was used and how it was set in flush, and if the door was planed. I did pick up good ideas, better than I would have attempted but would like to see the rest done. Is there a vid for that?
Hi Stuart Any chance you can show a Video on how to convert bottom Base so that your Flow Hive frames will be and the proper angle. As it stands when we purchase your frames we need to keep propping up the rear of the super in order for the honey to flow.
I have been researching bee hives with the interest in starting to keep bees. I have been watching yall's progress with the flow hive and I do say that it is very impressive. When I plunge into it next year and buy your flow hives, will they come with a plan to make the wooden hive. I plan on milling my own lumber to make the boxes, I just need to know the dimensions for the hive. Congratulations on your success!
I like your description of the flow hive. Did you use the Australian flow hive frames. Could you send me a copy of the flow hive booklet with the measurements and design. Thank you.
Hi Greg, here is a link to our instructions on how to modify a Super box to fit the Flow Frames - www.honeyflow.com/about-flow/flow-hive-assembly-modifications/p/142 - Leah.
Hey Roary, Please find them here: support.honeyflow.com/can-i-fit-the-flow-frames-into-my-existing-beehives/ Note that 6 Flow Frames are equivalent to a standard 8 frame Langstroth, and 7 Flow Frames to a 10 :) - Danika
Rather than cutting the four screws short, where they stick beyond the box, one might just replace them with shorter screws of the same width ? K.I.S.S. principle ! And as this conversion-procedure become more common, which I'm sure it will ... hopefully 'Flow' will be reducing the (still very expensive IMO) price of their excellent-quality plastic frames ? One wouldn't want the inferior/cheaper copies to become the norm !
Hi Pops, 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.

Thanks for sharing, Jasper. Good luck with modifying your box.
Great, humble approach.
Thanks and bless you.

This guy is so much better at adulting than I.
You can also drill a hole to ge the jigsaw in for the key access panel cutting.
Great suggestion! 👍

do you know dimensions I need too?

@@FlowHive Is there an updated link please? Does it have the width of the metal strip please?
Would it be easier to do before the box or super is assembled? Or do you find it easier assembled?
Paling senang dengan kotak lebah model ini, praktis,
Terima kasih atas dukungan Anda
Is there a problem if I use 55 inches instead of 6 inches for the depth of the access space?
Please, where did you find those frames whith Langstroth measurements? Thanks from Spain. (can you put the web site to buy them?)
Hi Pops, you can buy them here eu.honeyflow.com/collections/flow-frames/products/flow-frames - Sam
I love this vid ty
avez vous des plans ?
Merci
how mush does one of these hives cost?
I have dadant hives. can you supply flow frames for this, please
Dadant is a different size, but we have seen beekeepers modify a hive to fit the Langstroth size Flow Super on top of a dadant brood box. -Kieran
Excelente!!!
Where May I get the instructions to modify a Langstroth Box?

I want to buy from this product but how
Would you call that a shallow, medium, or deep box, please?
Hey there :) All of our boxes are made to full depth standard Langstroth sizing. I hope this helps! - Danika

I know that the size of the flow frames is 49x24,2 cm. and Langstroth frames are 40x22 cm. How to adapt that flow frames to Langstroth beehives.

You can always use a multi tool with a flat blade.
