Araucaria / 10 Brood Frames is currently unavailable — Try this alternative option: Flow Hive 2+ – Brood Box
Manufactured in the same style as those included with our Flow Hive 2, these sustainably sourced Australian Araucaria, or New Zealand Radiata brood boxes are manufactured in Langstroth deep 8 or 10 frame sizing.
They can be used for brood, or as an additional conventional honey super.
The brood box includes our unique V™ design which also doubles as a feature handle. 8 foundationless brood frames are also included for the bees to naturally build their brood comb. The brood frames are also built to accommodate wax and wire or plastic foundation if you wish.
Made in Australia or New Zealand from durable, sustainably sourced timber, these brood boxes are the ideal addition to any existing hive set-up.
This product is manufactured to the same specifications as the Flow Hive 2, and Flow Hive 2+ and is compatible with all individual components in this range.
Also designed to be compatible with Langstroth hives – please check specific dimensions here.
*Can be used in conjunction with our Flow Hive Classic collection, however, there is a minor sizing difference in the external timber width. More information here.
Our Flow Frames are slightly wider than traditional wooden brood frames, so less of them are required to fill the super in a hive in comparison to brood frames in the brood box.
– Our 8 Frame Brood Box is compatible with the 6 Frame Flow hive.
– Our 10 Frame Brood Box is compatible with the 7 Frame Flow hive.
“This has all come about because of our love for the bees and an acknowledgement of how important they are, not only to the food we eat, but to all life on Earth.”
- Stuart Anderson
“If we look after the bees, they’ll look after us. And the honey really is an amazing bonus.”
- Cedar Anderson

All Araucaria and Radiata timber Flow Hives and Supers need to be sealed with at least 2 coats of exterior-grade, good quality house paint. As with all outdoor paint, it will require a refresh every 12-24 months depending on local conditions.

Araucaria / 8 Brood Frames: Sold OutI have not yet put it together… it is for next year. I am confident in your company!!
Want to make sure we are ready for the Maryland winter- and added a second brood box. Looking forward to seeing them build more comb!
We absolutely love our Flowhive... so much in fact that we purchased a second one! It's easy to maintain, the instruction book has got to be THE MOST thorough ever when it comes to putting the Flow Hives together and if you need support for any reason, they are TOP notch!!
I received my first hive as a Christmas gift and within a month of getting my bees needed to add a second brood box!! (I highly recommend having a second brooder on hand so when you need it, you are ready to add it) I ordered it and it arrived and was put together with ease! I love all things FLOW!!! I am saving up to purchase my second hive this winter so I have it ready to go for a spring split!!!!
