It's finally happened!  We are seeing bees at work in the top box of the flow hive. Over a month ago we added the top box and the box below it was only about half full. We are assuming that the second box is not full and the workers are looking for additional space for honey storage.

Now that workers are moving in the actual flow hive, we will monitor their progress and keep reporting back each week.  As I have  said before, the Flow Hive was a pretty controversial product when it was announced both because of the method of extracting honey and price. Bee keepers were divided over its usefulness and if it would actually work as described.  Some even claimed that it would harm bee populations. 

And so this experiment that I'm reporting back to you is to see for ourselves if this hive will sustain itself and produce a good honey product. So far, the bees seem to be very busy at building out their hive. 

Enjoy the VIDEO and Stay Tuned!
