Congratulations on exceeding your goal George! Nice marketing plan! Can’t wait until next year to fill those boxes up and begin a new adventure! Great job! 👍👍 Harvey
Thank you! I am excited that over 150 beekeepers have preordered at least one hive. I promise everyone it does what we show you it can do in our RUclips videos. No staging being done on our single take videos. George
Hi George, For optimal Flow Frame honey harvest, Flow Hives are tilted backwards (you did) at a slope of 2.5-4.0 degrees. This tilt, which is about 15 mm (1⁄2 in) over the length of the hive, allows honey to flow out to the honey collection tubes without spilling. Can’t wait to add Flow Frames to Queen Keeper Hives!

I am not a big flow frame user. I am just trying to show people that if you already own flow frames, they can be used on the Keeper's Hive (both one queen and two queen). Moving brood above the flow frames may help the bees start accepting and filling them. Just having fun! George
Simple. Just add it to the stack. The 7 frame flow super is the width of a 10 frame super. Fred Dunn is going to run a flow super on a two queen Keeper's Hive next year too. It fills up quick. George
Yep! Mark's idea. I wont wear crocks in the apiary but I am not a fine example of what protective equipment to wear either. Better bee handling does equate to needing less protective equipment most of the time. The Keepers Hive allows for minimal colony disturbance to examine the brood box. George

Happy 4th! Looking forward to setting up my 2 queen hive. Will be interested to see how you made a full Flow super fit on that.

If you get stung you can immediately stop any pain with plantain grass which is pretty abundant in most yards and fields
Thanks for the tip. I do get stung a few times for sure. George
Crocks without socks lol
