Honey straight from the hive. The Flow Hive works!

[@creech444]

Try putting some bat boxes around your beehives. The wax moths can be active at night when the bees are in the hive, and the bats can eat the moths and keep the population down. Wax moths actually have super hearing so they can hear bats doing their echolocation So even if the bats don't eat them, the moths are scared away by the noise bats make. Here in GA they use huge bat boxes i the pecan groves, becuase one of the main pests was a moth that laid eggs in the nuts. But now the bats help keep them in check. They'll also help control the moths that attack a lot of garden vegetables.

I am SO impressed by how much you have learned about bee keeping since your first hive and I've learned a lot by following your videos. I had no idea that moths would wipe out a hive like that, you'd think the bees would be able to fight them off, but clearly not. The Flow hive is really cool!

I used to live in Hawaii! Beautiful place! We had a bee hive built within the walls of our hot tub. Needless to say, we kept the hot tub turned off until the beekeeper came. He gave me a HUGE portion of the honey comb. OMG it was so damn delicious. I kept the comb in my fridge and every so often when I needed a sugar boost I would take the honey comb out of my fridge and lick it like a lollypop! It was so damn good! I love bees so much! I used to be afraid of them until I saw these 2 young children, at the community gardens where I was growing veggies. I saw these 2 very young children pet the bees. I was like....huh? These 2 children taught me something very valuable. They told me that the bees won't hurt me because they knew that I was the waterer! And guess what? These 2 young children were right!!! I stopped my fear and I soon developed a friendship with the bees who were my great pollinators! Wow.....YES, sometimes adults can learn from children! I have NO fear of bees anymore! Wasps...YES, Bees.....NO! I love bees and I love children! Thank you kids for teaching this adult to not be afraid of bees!!!!!

[@dougstucki8253]

Sorry about the losses! Are you treating for mites? Next year when the Flow super is totally full of honey, make sure you only push the key in about 1/4 of the way for each turn. Let that finish draining and then push it another 1/4 of the way. If you do the entire frame, lots of honey will overflow out the bottom and will make a big mess and might drown some bees.

Uriah doesnt like honey, they mentioned it at the start of the taste testing bit. I was also surprised the cats went for the larvae before they could get them down to the chickens and other birds.

[@sharynhay9993]

Any larvae will make chickens happy so you dont have to waste them. I'm sure you have, but keep reinforcing that it is not part of being a "good brother" to let the baby lick honey from your spoon or fingers. Unpasteurized honey is not a safe food for infants. I took care of an infant with honey botulism and it is not something I would ever want to see again. But I sure enjoy seeing the smiles on the older kids. FYI I can no longer eat unpasteurized honey due to the pollen content. I had major asthma attacks until we figured it out. So I get my honey fix watching at least 5 bee channels every week.

[@DragonfireSL]

I think if any of the larva escaped or weren’t eaten it would have the possibility of another wax moth invasion

If you add 2 brood boxes under your flow hive once the bees build in numbers you’ll be harvesting it every week to 2 weeks have it ready to put on in spring and it’ll stop them from splitting

[@BassBaddie]

Add a few months or weeks before winter? When would you say is the best time to add?

[@RobnKath]

@@BassBaddie you shouldn’t add brood boxes before winter only in spring if you live in areas that ice up in winter you should remove the second brood box and supers in autumn so they can keep their hives/queen warmer in a more confined living space I live in a warm temperate zone so I leave my supers and second brood box on all year round and do 2 inspections one leading into spring and one in autumn to keep check on the health of my bees unless I suspect something is wrong with a hive then I’ll do an extra inspection on that hive by usually only 2 inspections per year otherwise if you constantly do inspections on your hives it can take them up to 2 weeks to get back to where they were pre inspection hope this helps.

[@SoloTravelAdventures]

Flow hives can be tricky. I've been using them for 3 or 4 years now. Some hives take to them, others don't. If the bees take to the frames and I wait until the frames are fully capped all the way across I'll get 20-25 lb of honey per hive in a season. I'm in MA so probably a pretty similar season. It's a big investment, but well worth it when you consider you don't have to get extracting equipment. As the frames get older and have some wax on them, the bees take to them much easier. As you guys saw by the 2 different jars, bees will sort their pollen and honey based on what it came from and there's no easier way to see and taste the difference than a flow hive. Earlier in the spring you'll get maple blossoms and later in the year you'll get goldenrod. You're doing great. I definitely had 2 years of struggles before I got decent production.

I enjoy learning from you guys, for good or bad. Anyone know if bee hives can be kept in a small bee house? Or why hives are always kept outside? Winters are harsh here in Ontario. I saw these flow hives last year and have plans to get a few once I’m ready to keep bees. I feel like this hive has almost revolutionized bee keeping. I’m still building infrastructure on our new farm last year a duck house, this year a huge garden and 7 coop chicken house. We planted 27 fruit trees in our orchard and don’t think we have enough pollinators, so bees are in the plans.. love following the story. Cheers, Chad.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

You can keep bees in a covered area like a high tunnel or something similar. They need to be able to fly around if it’s warm in the covered area.

Better for the flow frames to open them and close them in 1/3rds. Insert the key 1/3 and twist to vertical, then 2/3 then all the way. Opening the frames in parts reduces the stress on the frame and they open better too.
