    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.

    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.

    • @johnb8440
      @johnb8440 2 года назад +15

      @@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.

    • @FlowHive
      @FlowHive  8 лет назад +357

      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

    • @SaraMiyamoto
      @SaraMiyamoto 7 лет назад +90

      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.

    • @skywalker2837
      @skywalker2837 7 лет назад +12

      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

      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.

      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.

      @@KiLLJoYRUclips 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.

      Hi, 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. Please let me know if you have any other questions - Leah

      And want to know that once honey is taken out in professional or natural way, "is wax reusable by bees" or it's just an broken jar which used to be piggy bank someday and now all honey is gone, so the broken jar is useless for bees?

      Beekeepers try to save as much wax as possible to give back to their bees. When harvesting the honey most beekeepers use a special tool to only scratch the top layer off the comb (also known as uncapping). For beginning beekeepers: Try to keep the honeycomb as cool as possible (don't leave it in the sun, car etc.), so that you don't destroy any of the comb when the wax is warm and you just want to scratch the caps off some wax will come off too

      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.

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.

    • @jo-han

      +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 :).

    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.

      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.
