Hi David, thank you so much for your support. This is great to hear! Flow Customer Support
I recently made several purchases from Flow Hive. This included the Flow Hive 2 and later several purchases to buy other items including a Flow Hive Lifter. My first advice to newbees is to do your homework first. Bees are not a set and forget even with the ease of a Flow Hive. I bought two good books which I read from back to front and then watched you tube videos to get different perspectives from experts down to back yard bee keepers. I looked at both the Flow Hive and then the standard Langstroth hives and found the choice between them very easy. I would encourage you to check out the Flow Hive website and their multitude of tutorials. The Flow Hive won hands down, especially as I'm a newbee, a backyard novice and will most likely have no more than two hives at a time. My second piece of advice would be to plan where you will place your hive. Again, watch Cedar and he will give you all the advice. I would suggest placing it somewhere where you can sit and watch them. They are so amazing and the aroma of the hive is fantastic. Also, start thinking about when you will purchase the hive and then start to think about the purchase of or how you will get your bees. I purchased a NUC from a local supplier who was reputable and was a great ongoing source of information and help. I would suggest that you purchase your hive as winter is finishing, which will give you time to construct your hive, paint it and have it ready and plan to purchase your bees early so that they are ready to be collected in the spring when everything comes alive. Next I would advise that you save on postage and buy what you think you will need. If you can, I would strongly suggest that you purchase the lifter at the same time. Frames can get very heavy when full of honey. So a super of seven or six full frames weighs a lot and the super lifter makes it so easy and you are less likely to squash your bees as you gently lower the super. Next, take your time putting it together. If you get stuck, then head to the website and Cedar shows you in step by step videos on how to put your hive together. Maybe during this time, if you haven't already done so, plant some bee friendly trees, shrubs and flowering plants and think about a nice water dish for them. Lastly, take advantage of the tutorials and presenters at Beekeeper.org. The first month is free and there is heaps of information. Especially now that Varroa is here, Thank you to the Flow Hive team for making my purchase, and the beginning of my journey into bee keeping so easy.
Super excited about next year, Flow Hive have been great. I’m looking forward to getting to know my bees when they arrive in April. So much to learn, which I’ll follow the tutorials with Flow Hive. Roll on 2026
