Why would anyone buy them at that price, I’ve been looking at Flow Hive 7 Frames from the UK website and they would cost £415, looked into the prices from overseas and this was the result (from honey flow websites); Cost website origin - converted to GBP €399 EU - £342.23 $599 AU - £345.58 $449 US - £359.26

The flow hive is a nice bee box. One thing that would greatly help is if the flow hive company put the boxes together. I’m not one to use nails screws and glue. I’m sure there are other people that feel the same way! For the money you pay, in which i paid one thousand dollars for mine, there should be some kind of assembly done already.

Poor quality with the Cedar 6 Frame, part of the broodbox panel didnt fit correctly and a chip on the roof. For the price thats being charged you would expected a premium product. Delay to get replacement parts is unacceptabled as well.

Misleading marketing targeting people with zero beekeeping experience thinking that a Flow hive is some easy way into beekeeping because you do not disturb the bees. Had a look on their forum and it is obvious that a lot of those that buy Flow hives are clueless and ill prepared for the inspections and commitment needed to keep bees. The only thing different with Flow hives is the harvesting method, and you still have to disturb the bees to make sure honey is fully capped before you harvest because you cannot know from the little plastic window. I ma really annoyed with the ethics of this company, posing as if they are some bee saviours when in reality most of their customers are increasing the chances of spreading diseases if they are not 100% vigilant. I am by the way one of the original crowd funding supporters and bought two hives but wouldn't have bought if I knew about the way they were going to conduct their cheesy marketing. I'm not a supporter anymore.

Poor quality control. I paid four times as much to get the original from Flow not the Chinese version. I had a lot of issues with poorly made wooden ware. The Flow frames sagged with the weight of honey and leaked on the brood box and queen. All the wires came loose. Queen excluder is made of the cheapest plastic similar to the eBay ones. Within a year it broke apart and am lucky it didn’t let the queen up laying in the flow frames. Very disappointed with this purchase and should have taken the advice of beekeepers more experienced at the bee club that all recommended against buying a Flow Hive. Their marketing is highly deceiving.

The FlowHive from HoneyFlow is the most important invention in bee keeping since more than a century in all the world! Merely watching their demonstrations is a joy, surely much more nothing can compete with having the experience yourself when you tap honey without any centrifuge or wax scraping! Also very informative educational material online available in social media on their high quality products!
