You can make a hybrid frame and place the National deep frame in Langstroth frame If they have an 8 frame brood box I would suggest a double brood box configuration, however this is only the same with younger prolific queens based on my experience. Yes the supers are heavy, people who...

You can make a hybrid frame and place the National deep frame in Langstroth frame My new queens sometimes are very prolific and does need 16 frame Langstroth of brood space. However you can manage them on a single brood which will require a proactive swarm control. Yes the supers are...

Please do share the website to make orders or give in our interest, I would be interested with that price. How many is required in apiary of 15 colonies?

The FlowHive works in the UK, I get about 88lbs on a strong colony, harvested 485lbs from my garden in 2022 leaving another 450lbs of honey for the bees to winter with. Therefore I would not totally dismiss the idea that they don't work.

Interesting, at least it is an original idea and not a copy. The frames appear shallow / medium so might require 2/3 supers. Compared with the FlowHive it would seems it was flowing much slower. I certainly would keep to my FlowHive. :)

Is this a tested trap? that price would be good as many others would be happy to join the fight with low costs.

Yes have watched his Youtube, I am sure the one Richard recommends the "Jabeprode" are good, since there are now many options out there its looking at the best and also the cheapest. As not all beekeepers will buy traps that will cost about £100 for each trap.

Anyone come across this trap, if you have used it would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you https://eu.broodminder.com/en-gb/products/asian-hornet-trapp?variant=40015522955351

The management of the brood box is the same as traditional beekeeping, you still need to ensure you have a good healthy colony, and there is no diseases or issues. If the health is good and good swarm control management is done, a good nectar flow would fill the FlowHive Super 2/3 times in the...

All my FlowHives are 8's and therefore I use on stronger colonies 2 brood box and winter with them. However the 10's you can use a traditional super and leave the bees for to winter in. On the 1st year you would have to feed if they don't have enough stores. Hope that helps

I leave my FlowHive Super in a storage box near my apiary, after the bees have cleaned them out and drained them before I store them. I remove supers off end of Aug beginning on Sept and they are back on the hives in April as long as the colony is strong. However It's warmer here in London...

You can follow me on instagram or YouTube beekeeping blog, you will get ideas for your beekeeping management from my mistakes and posts I have made.

Hi @Suze I have 8 FlowHives and I remove the super at the end of Autumn, since I treat all my colonies for varroa and allow the bees to build their stores for winter. I have fellow FlowHive beekeepers I have mentored and they have harvested OSR from their FlowHive without any issue. There is a...

I can't comment about Heather honey as not sure how thick it is, however I did harvest 3 seasons ago honey with water content of 14%. this took 9hrs to Flow out, the honey tasted like heaven. In order to save time I harvest the honey in honey buckets directly from the Flowhive using a food...

I know of a beekeeper who got his FlowHives in OSR area and he has managed to harvest, however his set-up is different from others he has his hive in a mobile hut with a constant temp control. Another beekeeper who managed without any issues had his on the OSR farm, however I think it is about...

I have used the instantvap now on my hives for winter treatment, I would say its amazing. I can stand back safely as it vapourizes into the hive, as the unit holds well inside my langsthroth hive. Making it even safer to use. Also quicker then my previous Vaporiser (Oxalika). Refill is quick...

Just a normal Apiary with me breeding my own queens and also doing Nucleus colonies rather than using multiple sites. Just my interpretation

I have Langstroth hives, Nuc's and mating Nucs for rearing extra colonies and queens. I have build my own sustainable Apiary.

Sent you a message, sorry I don't come often on the forum

FlowHive have discontinued the National FH super.
