Here it is, the Flow Hive. Much anticipated and even better than expected, complete with a plaque on the side saying ‘Founding Supporter’ and a matching hat. The hive has a whole different way of harvesting the honey, invented and improved over the last 10 years and launched with an Indigogo campaign last year.
C and his father were very impressed with the quality of the kitset – materials, construction and instructions.
A special platform has been built for it and a friend of a friend has been asked for help with getting bees and instruction on how to keep them healthy.
My photos are celebratory rather than explanatory, so I will direct you to the website for the full story and videos showing how it works at http://www.honeyflow.com.

The hive and hat are lovely. I look forward to bee posts in the future. Good luck Honey.
Thank you! I’m looking forward to it too!
It certainly looks well made. Can’t wait to see the results!
Me too, I’ve just heard from the bee person and he has 4 frames with a happy queen and brood looking for a home! Very very very excited! We could have bees by the weekend!
We just got one too and are waiting for a swarm to find our swarm trap so we can move ’em in 🙂 Looking forward to seeing your experience unfold!
Oh good luck with that. Ours are doing well, but still building out the super – getting ready for Winter. We had some issues with ants so added legs – I’ll post a picture.
