HONEY ON TAP: Harvesting Liquid Gold from the Flow Hive

- G`day sweet folks and subscribers to the channel 🐝 🧉
I know there is always a lot of discussion and opinions about the Flow Hive both this way and that, so here is another chance to air them. 🥊🤣🤣😛
The latest episode from The Weedy Garden will show you the hive from my perspective. In my opinion folks it is gentle, practical, bee friendly and clean and easy to harvest. You still need to know how to care for your bees, to assist them in fending for themselves (they are a wild insect after all).
There is time to harvest, and times NOT to harvest. A few easy steps I take to maintain the hive are explained in this video. I have another video on my channel here: • THE FLOW HIVE - Harves... where we look at the hive on the inside.
I am working on another video at the moment where I successfully split the hive.
I`m open for discussion here in the comments, to hear your EXPERIENCE with the flow hive. If you are totally against them I encourage you to explain why. Perhaps we all can shed some light on some misinformation while we are here :-) Let`s keep it sweet righto :-)
Thank you Flow for the extra footage of the beautiful bees an slow motion!
Have a splendid weekend
Weedy

For those interested in PHOTOGRAPHY, I started a new channel last week: www.youtube.com/@atanygivenmoment
✅
“Always leave some honey for the bees” somehow that phrase hits home hard. We should all live life with that philosophy.
“I feel like whinny the poo” and that smile. Thank you for the content.
The Bob Ross of Bee Keeping.
"Happy Bees". 🤣
A very interesting flow hive.
I think that makes bee keeping easier and less stressful on the bees and keeper.
From a person that lives in the city and is absolutely in love with nature, i love your life. The things i would do to have a simple life in a field, growing my own food and taking care of my animals. I'm feeling a bit lost in life, but seeing how happy you look and how your happiness cheers others up it's very heartwarming to me. thanks bud :,)
Go for it then. Can be actually really! fullfilling. Cant buy that with money sometimes
Same here brother I feel with you , the struggle is real ..
@@Cardboardgrinchto have enough land do this stuff in uk is pricey
Have you heard of the WWOOFers? You can go on a working vacation and try this life out for yourself - it’s all over the world! :D
I am not a beekeeper yet, but plan to start. I live in the middle of Austin and mow around all of the wildflowers in my yard so that the bees can do their thing. I love going outside in the morning and seeing them just buzzing around.
Great job running your channel. Your voice and energy is so calm and pleasing. Great entertinment after a stressful day. Love your videos ;)
I really wish I liked the taste of honey. Flow hive what a great concept. You make very calming peaceful videos. Thank you ❤️🐝
Never seen anything so immersive....i was with you as you did the maintenance, filled the jars and tasted that honey....i felt so connected. What a beautiful video....thanks for sharing.
The best bee video ever
❤❤❤ I love 🐝 bees and I love the weedy Gardner and his garden 😊
I absolutely adore this man! I don’t know if I’m speaking directly to you or not. This was one of the or the only video I’ve ever seen that made me think I could actually make my own honey. Fantastic demonstration! I can’t wait to try this.❤
This is life 🫶🏽 love your content man.
Bees are so particular and smart. They have a whole free zone enterprise there like a supermarket production with roles for everybody and even carry weapons to defend themself as armies, wow thank God for this and all
Bees: why are we being taxed more than 60%? and have to work like 24hrs/day.
Queen: Easy answer - Because Weedy the pooh likes honey, now get back to work and stop asking silly questions 🐝
@@TheWeedyGarden😂😂😂🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝⛓️⛓️⛓️
Weedy the pooh makes sure they are safe and well protected so they can live long lives.
Weedy serves the bees and the bees are living lives that they love.
Bees love to work, so it is not really "work" from their view. They are doing what they love to do! Making sweet sweet honey!
Sounds a lot like communism
Thank God for the Bees.
Mmmm, lovely!
What a blessed honeybee harvest!❤
What a wonderfull channel... I came across these masterpieces just a few days ago. Watching since then :D
Welcome aboard!
You have such a calm and happy energy. It was a joy to watch you.
Just came across your channel, thank you so much for sharing. 💜🐝 You are awesome! 💯 I really resonate with you. That hive is amazing, not to mention the BEES 🐝. I aspire to have at least one someday soon! 💜✨♾️
You are so welcome
That was great! I love the footage of the bees flying and the flow hive feels like a peaceful way of harvesting honey.
Admirable y bello tu amor a tu pedazo de tierra. Es maravilloso cuan diverso y abundante es. Tan amoroso y respetuoso con nuestra mamita tierra. Eres un gran ejemplo para seguir y aprender. Un gran abrazo desde Colombia en mi bella ciudad de Popayán.
everybody will enjoy this kind of video
Always phenomenal content!
I enjoyed a lot and learned a lot! Thanks!
Love that 😁 I need to get like you 💪🏼
Love you dear.❤
Your Dragon fruit look like their doing well mate from that last aerial shot, but the best thing I like about this video is, no bee bio-hazard suit heehee! Well done!!
I’m a friend of the weedy garden
The Bee Castle! Love it!
Bees are amazing
I love your content and I am so impressed that you have a flow hive! I am familiar with Flow hive for maybe 10 years bit it's kinda expensive for country where I live. I could afford it but unfortunately there are other priorities of family and life. Great video, hope to see more and have a nice day in your amazing garden!
It's outstanding
Thank you for this video! It was stunning and so endearing to see the bees up close❤
When you said No bees were hurt when you split the cells the very next clip was a bee stuck in the cell squirming a 9:30 just off center, I don't know why i laughed i guess because of the irony.🤣
Good video though weedy love it !
I see it yes, but it was not harmed. When it was closed it got free again 😮
@@TheWeedyGardenyeah i know i seen how gentle it was , he was just like nooooooooo im stuck :D
Nice video
Hi Mr. Weedy- have you heard of Tera Petra Soil? It was created by the tribes in the Amazon forest. It’s amazing stuff, groups of scientists have tested soils from all over the world and found that the Tera Petra soil was the most fertile soil on earth. It can be replicated too. It’s worth checking out. Happy garden!
I plan on having a flow hive one day, but at roughly $1000 set up I will have to buy local honey for a while
That’s a lovely idea to give away a Flow Hive on the channel, love the video thank you
I LOVE YOUR ENERYGY
❤️Weedy
God Bless you Sir, Thank you for the Video
Lovely!
This is incredible!! Very nice video and very nice vibes! or should i say vibees :P
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for this video
Been looking at these for some time
ive always loved this dude. i love your videos! keep it up
So rad to see your garden all grown up! I remember watching you start it during the lockdowns, next video should be about what's grown and changed since you started. Do the big leafy, tropical trees like banana have a problem with attracting a lot of cockroaches? I live in a semi-tropical zone too, South Texas, and want to grow banana & coconut etc. but I've always heard of terrible problems
Never seen a cockroach here but maybe the came toads eat them all. Did you see this video yet bro ruclips.net/video/TXqKiPU695M/видео.htmlsi=XFGL5LUA7SyDYQEP
Excellent, thanks!@@TheWeedyGarden
wow👍👍👍
I want one of these hive so Bad.
They are on the website 🫵🏻
Nice
You are living the life 👌
Go with the flow yo 🤠
Wow, I learned so much here. We use honey every day.
Can you list your top 10 flowers to plant for the bees? 🌻🌺🌹
I don’t have ten top favorites. Bees like everything I have growing. They love basil flowers
💞 if I may.....I've found these to be favorites and the bonus is the distinct flavors!😊 wild rose (Canada), buckwheat (gives a darker & earthy flavor)😢nasturtium, lilac, yarrow, and good old dandelion. Dandelion honey is used to help children with pollen and bee allergies. ❤
Can you explain the overall maintenance of the hive? How often do you need to remove everything and do it all over again? Or is it forever continuous?
That shb trap looks amazing. Ive been using little ones that you put inbetween frames. It works but its alot of effort and not as effective
How long did it take for the bees to produce that much honey?
What a beautiful beautiful man.
Loved viewing this. When is the bee suit used?
Please it’s a question
I watched some of your video and I have a question can fishery waste water be used to help plant grow are the lactobacticulus grown or mixed in the fishery water
It would be good yes 👍
I am glad you feel like Winnie the pooh ☺️
I'm 43 yrs old and love watching your video's. Your videos should be part of school coriculum around australia
That would be nice 👍
The flow hive is why I'm not technically vegan anymore
Heard that before 🙂
Also vegan, if I had bees id probably use a flow hive as well.
Vegan but I have ethically sourced honey from family
You can make fake honey with sugar and flowers here's a video for who is curious ruclips.net/video/d-g9gUmEvmM/видео.htmlsi=0Xzj9O0u04JLFP-e
Thanks flow hive !
What about wax ?
What about wax? There is no stealing wax. Only the bottom brood section has wax and I don’t disturb that. No wax😢
Propolis, and the bees make it ❤
question with setting up the hive, do you just wait for the bees to come or do you buy them from another hive that someone has ?
Good question. You could watch “splitting a hive” video. It will give you one idea. Another is to catch a swarm, another barter something for some bees. I would say last resort would be to buy some, but yes, you need to find a colony to inhabit your hive. They will very unlikely find it themself. There are just way too many natural locations they could find.
Do you know approximately how many flowhives it can take in relation to the plot area?
Bees travel up to 6 km to gather nectar & pollen, so in theory you could have hundreds
MmmmMmm
where i can see how to build one of this little house for bees
You can’t buikd such a hive, but you can look at the here: www.theweedygarden.com/the-flow-hive
باسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ما شاء الله
Do you get wax and propolis from this system
Yes, but not from the super, only from the brood box. A little propolis if the clean the super. Look for the video on splitting the hive.
@@TheWeedyGarden ok I will thanks
How long to the next harvest in that amount?
depends entirely on the availability of flowers
@@TheWeedyGarden could be one month in the flowering season you were in?

In the start of the video I thought he said "I feel like we need to poo". Then I realised he said "I feel like winnie the pooh" 😅
Sugar rush!!
Weedy, this is the one I've beeenn waiting for. Great show, I've seen the flow hives a few years ago. Now that you have clearly explained it, I'll be definitely looking at getting one in the near future.
i feel like i missed so much of your channel.
that garden is huge now.
Please catch up 🤗💪🏻🎥🦍
Nice video, but I noticed that you put the oil from your hive to your compost. Oil is not good to your compost it will attract pest, and it affects the composting process.
Not sure where you heard that, but everything organic is good for a compost. Not much oil in there
@@TheWeedyGarden I see, I'm actually taking Organic Agriculture course here in the Philippines. Our Trainor taught us that it can affect the microorganisms in your compost. That's why I just got confuse when you put the used oil from your hive in your compost. But please correct me if I'm wrong I wanna learn more from people who are more experienced.
👍 i've noticed how you squat is something you hardly ever see people do as an adult. i love it, as i garden in that position all the time. most adults look strangely at you when you can squat like that and will be thinking how the hell do you get that low. i get comments on it all the time, lol. good grounding buddy, i love it 💚
LOL. As I was finishing the editing off this video this morning, I actually thought about how easy it is to squat and wondered if anyone would comment on my squatting.
I do really wish I could squat like that. After two knee surgeries though unfortunately that ship has sailed.
I'm a squatter too, LOL
@@AlchemyforallSame , seems so much easier doing things in that position & relaxing
Your have either Slavic or Asian genes, straight up white people can't squat flat footed like that
I really enjoyed the vibes, the music, the beauty of life celebrated, thank you!
when you apply proper bee keeping practices to look after your bees, the flow hive just becomes a better hive at minimum, I cant understand keepers poo pooing flow hives
That was really amazing. You really love your Bees. It’s great to see respect for these hard working little darlings. Fascinating thanks. You must be a very calm person and the Bees sense it.
I am so envious!!! My city has bylaws that prevent me from installing a flowhive due to my proximity to neighbours. 😞 It is so good that you can harvest hone. I still feed the bees! LOL
Thank you Weedy, I’d never seen a flow hive in action 🐝
Now you have 🙂
Fantastic learnings for us all. Must show the children.
Thanks David - dunnit again 👌😎
I have a serious ocd about sticky things, so this looks like a great option for me. Thank you for the well-directed and clear video of how to care for these hives. I'd heard such negative reviews from local old-timers about it, but this makes me confident I could manage it pretty easily while keeping my bees healthy and disturbing them as little as possible.
Absolutely the best channel on RUclips! Never have to worry about the kids watching with me as well ! Thanks for another great one weedy !
Love that the kids are watching 👍🐝👁
@@TheWeedyGarden yes the love all the cool things you teach us !
Great video. I’ve always wanted to get a flow hive I definitely will now when i get out of the military. I was wondering if you would ever do a video on cameras? I really like going out into nature and taking pictures and close but I’m a bit of a noobie
Most of my subscribers are not intocameras, but I did just start another RUclips channel JUST FOR THAT!!! www.youtube.com/@atanygivenmoment
Where I live in the forest, there is a lot of honey in the highlands. I often harvest it to go to the market to sell and use for drinking and seasoning food. ❤
Amazing invention this thing, always blows my mind.
You are living the dream, sir.
You would like this video according to your user photo ruclips.net/video/Dn54xQ5_2EE/видео.html
Such a great harvest - will be certainly getting one from your site soon ! -just saving up .
That’s awesome!! I used to be a bee Keeper but I got badly stung once , maybe this method would be safer for me
I love how you respect their needs and leave some of their hard work to feed themselves
Love your videos 🐝
You will still get stung!!
That was excellent. A lovely vid 😊
Great video!❤
My husband was studying to be a beekeeper though he got spooked by the idea of mites. Do you have any suggestions on dealing with mites and the flow hiv3?
They are not in my area so I have no experience with them. If you really want to know, the join the live shows that Cedar from Flow does every Wednesday on RUclips.
lol. Winnie the Pooh. Classic. Bet you were buzzing after drinking that fresh honey. As usual awesome and informative.
🙏🏻👁🐝🐝🐝
Good video! Wish we had that beetle trap. We lost our gives to the beetles before we knew what they were and that we had them. Miss the bees.
What a sweetener for the day David, thanks.
Great video I’ve always wondered how a flow through bee hive worked 🐝
Now you know
WHAT A SWEET CONTRAPTION...😋😋😋👍👍👍🤙🤙🙏🙏HONEY FROM HEAVEN.
That was awesome!! Im sold, how much easier that is than the regualar hives!!!!! Wonderful!!! and YUM YUM YUM. Nothing like fresh honey! Mr Pooh!
