My 5 Step Plan for Endless Honey! @FlowHive

Here's my one-step plan to never buy honey again: Step 1. Never buy honey again.

Not the nuke-you-luss

You can be an bee

You're living my dream.

Idk how i stumbled upon you,but im obsessed

Step 0 to buy a house with garden😅😅😅

People please do your research before buying bees. I did 2+ years of research and still lost my first two batches. Bees are very temperamental.

Step 1. Never buy honey.

Your channel used to be so relatable. I don't remember the last time I saw one of your videos that applies to my life

Oh is that it to make own honey smh

This is my third year... You really need to make sure you keep the SHB out of your hive. Add some traps, trust me.

That wood looks pressure treated . Is it ? I’m not sure if that’s good for your bees to bee around . Just an observation

Can you give us an update on the Flow Hive? I’ve not heard great things about it for winter climates.

This is the kind of farmhouse i always dreamt of building before zombie apocalypse starts.

Are they aggressive? In 2 days you should know whether or not they are aggressive and you won’t need to overkill on the gear. Some gloves and maybe a hood if you want is usually plenty with passive bees.

I’ve had my flow hive for about 8 years and love it! I take a frame or two every summer… leave them plenty in the hive to make it through winter!

So much respect for this person 🙏👏

How much was each step?

As a beekeeper, since I was 14 the only advice I would give you is to get another hive for redundancy. That way, if one hive is strong and the other is week, you can swap brood

Tell us how the flowhive works, I've never thought it would work out well

I want one of the flowers hives

I could swear Ive seen you before

...Oh no. Not FlowHive.

Step 2: go to the hospital because you’re about to die because you’re allergic to bee sting

Wait, did you clean the lumber because Almost 50% of homestead eggs have pathogens. Chicken poops even worse so you probably don’t want that near honey bees like to use stuff near by to rest and with pollen fingers they can easy pick up bad stuff from wood

5 steps more like 5 grand later, flowhives are trash, you'll learn that after a honey harvest if you get one.

❤❤

His reclaimed lumber looks just like the stuff I get from the hardware store

step 1 be a bee farmer 💀💀💀

Flow hive🙄

My dream is to have bee hives but I'm allergic 😢

And these is another day, of savings the beeeees

You're so cooked bro, but also so rich

I’ve heard some bad things about the flow hive- hopefully yours doesn’t give you issues!

I think I'm gonna just buy honey at the store. It seems a more cost-effective way of doing it, great video though 👍

You should plant a flower garden for your bees. With flowers your bees really like! ❤

"This is good news Mark, we can finally be bees"

I heard flow hives were ass

How far away is this from the house though?

Nuculus

Great video. Too bad about the flohive though.

So cool….you are so inventive! How absolutely amazing for your family!❤

LONG ISLAND BABY LETS GO! 631 or nothing. Nassau is basically NYC

Trust all the beekeepers telling you to use regular box hives. Flow hive look cool but aren’t what bees really want. Also I’m not calling you a liar but I somehow doubt your bees are making comb that fast on empty frames… a few days?

If the Bees are from Australia, will that effect them living in the U.S.A.?

Little bit of advice from someone who’s had bees for a while

Flow hives have had some bad reviews and are way more expensive that regular boxes. Personally, I’ve never had luck with them. But you may have a different experience

You should get a second hive. This allows you to kinda judge their health and progress. If one is doing poorly, you will know it’s something to do with that hive. If both hives are struggling, it could be environmental. Secondly, if one is struggling. You can move brood and resources into it from the other. Helping to fix their issues

You look to be using foundationless frames. These have a few drawbacks, like being more fragile when holding them up in different orientations. I have also been told they don’t survive the honey extraction process all that well. This may not be an issue for you, as you are using a flow hive

The most important thing I can tell you is. You will receive information constantly that contradicts other bee keeper advice. If you ask 10 bee keepers what to do. You’ll get 20 answers. Everyone does things differently, it’s honestly more of an art than a science. So don’t stress about rigidly following others advice. See what works for you

Oh and remember. They are bugs. You’re going to squish them, loose them, and cause them problems. I would spend way to long trying to prevent every bee death I could when I started. You’ll eventually learn to be careful but efficient. Don’t purposefully be rough and kill them. But don’t freak out if you pick up a frame and squish a bee. If you do squish one. Do the humane thing and make sure it’s dead. I have no idea if they can feel pain. But I’d want to be put out of my misery if I got squished

Good luck. It’s a great hobby.

Purple 💜 is my daughter's favorite color as well

Beware. Flow hives suck. Traditional hives are so much better. Most bees hate the flow hive frames and refuse to build on them
