Think I will as well - better than watching Saturday night TV. and look at the bright side, if the damn thing does work and they have a for sale forum there will be plenty of 'nearly new' kit up for grabs from all the clowns who can't get their bees into the 'hive'

Like the "What to do with a F**** Hive full of set OSR !!?!?!?!" thread.

you pour them in from the Jiffy bag they came in..

oh my!



How do we get our new bees into the hive? My friend tells me they come in frames and they just put the frames with bees in them into their hive. Doesn't seem to be an option with flow hive.
Thanks

Ok, so I will need to purchase or make a brood box.

Yep ... good for a laugh over there if it wasn't such a tragedy looking for somewhere to happen .... the crowd funding site made it all look so easy didn't it ? Dainty little girls in frilly dresses and no PPE pouring honey on their muesli straight from the hive ...

Reality is going to kick in when they finally get some bees ... and find out they need a hive as well as the flow frames ... and a zillion other bits of kit !

Too true.
If the thing works then the only piece of kit they won't need is an extractor.

again, I amazed, if everyone here posted and made fun of the newbies on this forum they would get looked down on, yet go to another forum and it'll be fun

My advice to people on the UK part of that forum has been to get involved in their local BBKA group and get some experience and knowledge over the summer so that they're prepared for their Flow Hive and bees when they arrive.

I've just been reading over there ... not participating .. and some of the questions are clearly from people who have no idea what they are getting into ... as I said .. it would be funny if it wasn't such a disaster looking for a home. Fortunately, the majority of questions appear to be coming from the USA or Australia .. fortunate for us in the UK of course.

I don't have a problem with the innovation ... the problem I have had is the marketing of the thing which clearly put a 'honey on tap' slant so heavily on it that some (most from what I've seen so far) people that have added to the crowd fund appear to think that keeping bees and generating honey is as easy and straightforward as growing your own herbs outside the back door.
