Users of Flow Hive

[OzarkSerenityAcres]

Are there any users of the Flow Hive?
Is it worth it? Is it as advertised? Are you happy with it?

Some of us discussed it when it first became a "thing" but I don't know of anyone here who decided to try it out.

No experience with it... first impression is that one would have to be a pretty skilled beekeeper to achieve good results.
For example, here in Central Va our summer flow frequently crystallizes in the comb and is unextractable. There are flow groups on f book.

Will look into that...thank you

I looked into it when it first was introduced. I have some concerns with the idea of it, but I haven't tried it out.

I've looked at them but if we ever do bees I'm going to join our local bee keepers club and go from there.

@Happy Chooks What are your concerns?

Plastic breaking, squishing bees when you close it, honey crystalizing, making sure it's cured long enough to actually be honey.
