Flow Hive honey harvesting

Watch as Cedar explains in detail how to harvest honey using a Flow Hive.

Bees really are the most majestic insects. They're underappreciated and feared when all they do is help so long as you don't provoke them. Even then, when you bother them a bit, they're usually so relaxed and docile. Truly the most wonderful insects.

Sounds like this guy had the biggest and most chilled blunt right before the shoot.

I would buy one today, except i have twin 2 year olds and a small backyard. Thinking about getting rid of the kids.

I ordered from the Kickstarter campaign in 2015 or 2016 when it first started. Got my hive delivered later in 2018 and finally set it up this spring. Just harvested my first 3KG's of fresh hive honey from 2 frames! I'll get the rest tomorrow. My life will never be the same, and I'm a hobby beekeeper for life now. Thanks FLOW

No idea how I got here either, but I'm happy that this guy seems to have made a great product, for his passion, and now he can retire on the fruits of spreading his hobby to other's. Just seemed like a really nice guy.

made me so uncomfortable that the jar was so full

I love how professional he is at keeping his bees. A fancy beehive, and fancy way of harvesting honey, and it’s in a fancy spot. I love it, even though I know nothing about beekeeping.

This is the most easiest and clean way to extract honey without hurting a single bee ... Hatts of to you sir .. 😊

This is so relaxing, I didn't know I needed a little bit of honey harvesting footage to soothe my soul today

What I will say about the flow hive, is that if you have the money for one, and you aren't doing this for profit, then these are awesome. That being said, they take up a lot more space than a normal frame, and they are EXPENSIVE. What this ends up meaning is that your going to get less honey per harvest than with a standard langstroth hive with normal boxes. We usually harvest 3-4 times a year. Our first harvest is of the honey that we left them for winter(I always leave a full super for my girls), and we treat them for varroa at the same time. Next harvest is end of spring to mid summer, depending on how the supers look. Final harvest is mid to late October when we set the hive up for their winter. Anything over that one super gets harvested.

Personally I love long hives, but these really are clever. I have a single hive set up with them, but it does produce less, and once the box starts to come apart I will probably get rid of it because you have to make concessions for the convenience.

Can’t believe i just watched this and didn’t get bored lol

I'm incredibly scared of and yucked out by bugs in general, but for some reason bees just bring me peace. I love them!

[joshualeboeuf]

I needed to see this. It's 1:32 where I am and I needed to see this pure love and kindness before I went to bed. Thank you.

Flow Hive is getting better and better

At 5:08 I was getting paranoid about the honey jar as it was getting full and he wasn't even checking it :))

Keeping bees means a beautiful garden, a bountiful veggie patch, loads of honey, and a ton of beeswax. I wish there were more urban beekeepers because it would cut down on badly placed natural hives that tend to disturb humans.

[Threshroge]

That was the absolute most intelligently designed hive harvester that I've ever seen and it was so wonderfully explained by the host

[teaeyedoubleguhur]

My dad always harvested the honey from his hives the old-fashioned way. He would have loved this hive.

[Banana]

Never kept bees, but always been very interested with honey harvests and the bees in general and when my local bee keeper got one of these the difference I've seen is amazing!!! She says she gets way more honey from the flow hives and the bees fill them much quicker then the normal hives. Plus each frame tastes slightly different. Plus if I'm lucky even I can help with harvesting! It's so easy and satisfying to watch and be part of xxx

lmao: how to scam bees without them even knowing
