Crafted with care, finished with character

Every Scratch & Dent hive begins as premium western red cedar timber in our workshop. And if the timber doesn’t meet our strict QC standards, we repurpose it into fully functional Scratch & Dent hives instead of letting it go to waste.

You may need to make a few small adjustments during assembly, but the result is a premium Flow Hive experience with extra character.

Why repurposing matters at Flow

We believe premium western red cedar deserves a second chance. By repurposing timber with cosmetic imperfections, we’re able to reduce waste, honour natural resources, and make the Flow experience more accessible to more beekeepers.

The Flow Hive invention

Built around our award-winning Flow Hive 2+, these Scratch & Dent bundles combine premium Flow innovation with beautifully imperfect timber, making it easier to expand your apiary with confidence while enjoying generous savings.

Why start with a Flow Hive

The Flow Hive makes beekeeping more approachable from day one so you can harvest honey with ease. And the Scratch & Dent gives you the same premium Flow Hive 2+ experience at a more accessible price, thanks to repurposed timber with cosmetic imperfections.

Harvest honey without opening the hive, keeping the process gentler for your bees and easier for you. Designed to work in a range of climates with minimal space and setup, it's a simpler, more flexible way to keep bees.

With less bulky equipment and more control over how and when you harvest, you can learn at your own pace and enjoy the process as your hive grows.

Perfect for:
✔️ Backyards
✔️ Balconies
✔️ Rooftops
✔️ Gardens

How the Flow Hive works

“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

Imperfect timber with premium Flow technology

The only thing “Scratch & Dent” about these bundles is the woodware. From the Flow Frames to the hive accessories, every other component is new, premium, and designed for the full Flow experience.

Patented Flow Frames

Enjoy smoother honey harvesting from the hive straight to your jar with less disruption to the bees.

Premium hive components

Flow Hive innovation

The same trusted features found in our premium Flow Hive 2+ gives you all the benefits of our top-tier hive.

One hive is good. More is better.

Many experienced beekeepers recommend keeping more than one hive to help manage swarms, provide stronger colony support, and increase resilience across your apiary. Scratch & Dents make it easier to grow your setup with the Flow Hive 2+ experience using repurposed timber - at a more accessible price.

Our customers love the
Flow Hive 2+ Scratch and Dent

More than beekeeping

Flow was founded with the goal to help people connect more deeply with bees and nature - and that commitment extends into the way we produce, repurpose, and give back.

Repurposed for Pollinators

From our Scratch & Dent hives to our Flow Pollinator Houses, we believe premium timber deserves a second chance.

By repurposing woodware and manufacturing offcuts, we're reducing waste while creating homes that help both honey bees and native pollinators thrive.

Built to Last

Sustainability starts with thoughtful design.

From durable western red cedar and organic cotton protective gear to carefully selected suppliers and responsible manufacturing practices, we create products designed to be used, repaired, and enjoyed for years to come.

Billions of Blossoms

Through our charitable initiative, Billions of Blossoms, we support projects that help pollinators, biodiversity, and communities flourish.

Together with our global community, we're helping create a future where people and pollinators can thrive side by side.
