Is it an irrational fear for me to think that artificial "combs" would interfere with the evolution of the bee species genome? Would it affect the bee species ability to make their own combs in the future? Or would their innate ability always be there? Would it affect the flavor of the honey?

I felt so sad 😢when those bees were getting sooo mad!

It seems like the flow hive wasn’t tested with real bees…. It’s theoretically a good idea if your primary gripe with bee keeping is separating honey and comb, which I don’t know just feels like a normal part of bee keeping.

If been adding wood chips on top of my screen bottoms. And is working fine.

I'm thinking of running an experiment. I'm planning to build a 6 frame deep box langstroth hive. as I am pushing 70 a 6 frame deep would be easier to handle than an 8 or 10 frame deep box. In winter the plan is to over winter in 2 boxes.

I think this gentleman needs to read the manual and also watch some the videos on KZbin

Great job

the bees seem to not be pissed with the flow

How about ripe mashed banana paste

Thank you for the detail and information on how to make a ecological hive. Some beekeepers give honeybees hell... We have to constructed more hives components and its worthwhile considering alternatives.

Ah excellent! we like alternative tools, especially multipurpose tools. Here in Australia we can get cheap import decorator multitools for $3-9 AUD

wow! No smoke? They may become really aggressive when trying to lift the frames.

Wher is queen

RIP greenfibres.🪦Gone but not forgotten.😢💔

It's good man 🎉

What are the slat dimensions of this hive?

Do they sting?

Very informative, thank you.

By taking those flow hive frames out an making all that extra space now you know what the bees will do . They are going to make a total mess out of that flow super by building comb everywhere in the wrong places . 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

I have a question. If you do not want the ivy nectar in the flow box then at this point why not just take the flow super completely off an install a regular super . That way you can harvest what ever you have in the flow an all the problems solved. Store the flow box for the next season . That way you do not have to do so much box shifting around. Just a thought .

You haven't even set it up correctly.

and……

Was looking at keeping 8_10 hives here in Australia but I think it's not worth the effort I'll stick to letting someone else do the hard work and give them a couple dollars

What a wanka! That was painful to watch and has no idea😂

doesn't look like a real flow hive

What about making a top bar hive out of this stuff??

flow hives handling of Bowsers Bees was all I needed to see to stay away

what do you use to reduce the bee entry?

yes I agree with you.. And if we're not helping genetics of disease resistant queens we're hurting bees.. but veroa like drones, so any ideas to promote drones and fight veroa? thanks

Do you think this could be used on bee hives like on the outside of wood box’s

Okay, but what are all these called aside from "gadget or product"? As in, the official name of the product and where to purchase it?

Thank You 💕

Very neat

Thanks for this info, very informative. I use bees wax in wig making to coat the thread before sewing.

Great to see your back again

Thanks for sharing this Phil!! It’s called baby oil over here as well.

Your a hoot… no squeaking babies

Dear Phil my mixture Is beeswax and olive oil. Thank you so much for all your great advice.❤

Bee bread tool is so cool.......

Thank you Phil I’m getting ready to bring my new grandson home today and rub him down with a bit of oil and wax to keep him from squeaking. Good information and hope to use more of it.

Do you offer your own beeswax for sale, Phil?
