It is now end of March 2021 and I am approaching my First Year Anniversary as a Flow Hive Beekeeper. This video is very instructive to me as I think my Strong Double Deep is now ready for a Spring split. I will be doing my first Spring inspection early April & Super on the Anniversary of Earth Day. I think that I will buy another give body & split in May. This video was Super well done & you explained in every detail what I need do. Thank You Cedar.

16:50 ooooh hello there, what are you doing *SPLATT. That poor girl

[tarkine]

Thx, i will be doing my fist split this spring in Tassie this was really helpful

[rbljackson]

while not a beekeeper myself (yet)...i just wanted to say it appears you have a fantastic product that is well thought out. Not only that, I have watched your videos for the last two days and found the information SUPER educational, interesting, and entertaining as well ! I had no idea this type of product existed. If the product works as good as it appears to from the content...you have a home run winner! One question I have not heard asked yet is this: How often do you have to inspect the colony/open the brood box to inspect things? Is it feasible for me to keep one of these out at a country property and inspect the colony every few weeks? Or do they require more supervision (weekly? daily?).

This was amazingly helpful thank you! How do I find your book?!

Hi Leah, do you guys ever add extra brood or super boxes to an existing complete flow hive? What are the pros or cons to doing so? Please and thank you : )

Hi I am just about to purchase a Flow hive, I was watching your utube video about splitting the hives, so as to stop Bee swarming. You mentioned your first step would be to move the Flow hive away slightly into a new position so the Brood box can have a more abundant supply of bees returning to that original position where they first were dropping there nectar so as to start a promising Brood. I am not sure if you are interested in this suggestion, but because I am getting older moving the Flow Hive box would be challenging for my back, is it possible to have wheels on the feet of your box's for better mobility, I understand this could create small problems with the balancing of the Flow Hive, or have you thought of this idea already? If this could be the next part in any of your new innovative changes for the future Flow Hive remodeling, I would be more than in to it !!! :-) Marina

Good to watch such a great beautiful bee hive . A question is that suppose, while spliting the hive a naturally queen cell is formed in the hive by worker bees, and at the same time old queen also goes with the new splitting box , in such case, will old hive reproduce new queen? , second question if there is neither drown cell nor mated queen in orginal box, in such case will bees in original box servive?

Hi just wondering why you were inserting new frames without wax's, during the splittings

[darrencormier]

i have built up frames...should I put those empty ones on the outside of the inner frames?

[danielhettema]

can the queen swarm with the queen divider (the grate that separates the top from the bottom) in place?

[garrettkearbey]

When do you put a honey super on the split?

[normanwells]

32:15 Can that frame to replace the queen be taken from any hive, or only frames that had been together before the split?

[SpiderSmokingSam]

Hi, I'm your latest subscriber :D
So, question: how careful are you not to smush any bees, and what if you accidentally pinch one a little too hard between frames or something? Is such a thing no big deal, pretty common/rare, cause for mutiny, cannibalism time, maybe they have a moment of silence or a funeral ceremony..?

[crispernator]

Hi with your hives you do not use a wax foundation just let the bees make it ? do you use any support wire or not if this is the way you do your frames

[benjaminlehman]

What do you do when you cant hold any more hives?
