Flow Hive - Don Anderson Harvesting Honey
Here is my grandfather Don Anderson harvesting honey from our Flow™ Hive, with my uncle Patrick Anderson, and my Dad Stuart Anderson. More info at www.honeyflow.com or read on below...
- Cedar Anderson
This was last winter, here in Byron Bay Australia we get a good honey flow in the winter, lucky us!
Most of my family are beekeepers. This Flow™ Hive has 6 Flow™ frames in a standard 8 frame sized Langstroth hive.

Fantastic video fella. Thanks for your time!
i really like ur guys way of getting honey because u dont use smoke or hurt the bees in anyway!😄
That is so awesome. The design of this is astonishing.
This looks like a great invention and should sell really well. I am in my 5th year as a beekeeper and I may actually try one for the novelty: My concern is all the folks that thought they couldn't keep bees before this invention and now think they can. If you can't keep bees without the flow hive, you probably shouldn't with the flow hive. I would estimate that harvesting honey is one of the easier tasks of the beekeeper. Some other tasks that may not be as pleasant are; re-queening an aggressive hive; swarm prevention; swarm collection from your angry neighbors yard; dealing with your bees over-taking your neighbors pool as their watering source; pests, predators, pathogens, parasites, cures and preventions, hive splitting; varroa mite monitoring, pesticide exposure/monitoring; stings; your neighbor getting stung (unlikely but you will be blamed for every sting); and the list could go on for awhile.

Plus without pulling the frame to inspect, there's no way to know if Small Hive Beetles have turned one of the hidden from view sections into their toilet room. It looks like slime and will just be mixed with the honey. Mmmm yummy! lol

I also forgot to mention American Foul Brood (AFB). Where I am we're required to burn our hives if the disease is contracted. I think I may just try a frame or 2.

***** I do as long as they're going about it the right way. Folks need to educate themselves and be prepared to become beekeepers; not just honey harvesters.
I've never seen anything like this. Amazing.
That's a blessing! Great food source.
This is unbelievable. Great job on making this very easy for those that are bee keepers. This would be perfect for me if I was a bee keeper being that I make mead. I wouldn't have to buy honey any more. Great job. Keep up the great work.
Fascinating!!! Although, I am petrified of Bees and don't eat honey, it was interesting to watch their workflow!
Good innovation congratulations... I just need such hives am from KENYA and and am bee farmer 7 years with 30 hives
Not gonna lie. Seeing this actually makes me contemplate learning the fine art of beekeeping. Bees are already fascinating creatures, but having access to their honey without having to jump through several hoops? Yeah, that makes it all the more enticing. There's nothing quite like freshly harvested honey. Pity I haven't been able to get ahold of any freshly collected honey in many years.

+SlayerZaraki With the Flow hive, you still need to take care of your bees! The only thing that this changes is the way the honey is harvested. Though, it looks *a lot* easier, and that's why I bought one. Find and join a local bee club to learn about bees, and watch videos here on KZread before jumping in.

Karen Carol Oh, of course. There are no bee clubs around here - not even close, really - but I am doing large amounts of research all the same. I've gotten ahold of a few people that are already actively keeping bees. Figured they would be good sources of information. The unfortunate fact, though, is that the honeybee population in my area has dwindled to almost nothing. The prospect of being able to harvest the honey relatively easily is a nice one, I cannot deny, but I'm probably more interested in just getting some healthy bees back into the area. Even if it means I get stung a few times, 'cause really, that's basically inevitable.

Good for you! I've kept bees for several years, and only just started harvesting honey. I did the same as you, studied everything I could before starting. I'm surprised that there aren't bee clubs near you, our club has over 300 members. Where are you? (approximately?)

Karen Carol I'm in a little backwoods part of the state of Tennessee. There are some bee clubs, but the closest one I found was roughly a day's travel by car. Of course, it's also possible some exist that simply don't have much presence on the internet. In this area, there's quite a few associations and the like that never quite "got with the times". I'll have to keep looking.
Congratulations for your work!
this is ridiculously funny, the majority of that honey is probably not ready yet... without taking the comb out you wouldn't know if the entire thing is capped or not lol
First of all, I'd like to commend you for your invention. I believe the Flow Hive will allow regular suburban citizens like me to start our own hives without all the mess and hard work involved in bee keeping. This could surely work to combat the bee crisis and repopulate the critical species of our ecosystem that is the bee. Secondly, I'd like to recommend (and request) that you publish tutorial videos that instuct us on how to operate and maintain your hive (eg. Any cleaning that is required, how to manage the queen etc.). I think many people who invest in your technology would appreciate the advice. Thanks for reading and responding.

The Flow Hive Full Reveal video will help raise the interest and excitement level of potential beekeepers. Historically, this could be the pivotal moment to actually get a new wave of beekeepers. Think of it... a beekeeping club in every rural county, or every major neighborhood. (Remember... three mile radius.) If your community has a Garden Club, or Betterment Association, or Boy Scout Troop, or 4H, or FFA... (and the list goes on), the Flow Hive could be just the thing to raise the level of excitement and interest to get young teens involved, as well as the newly retired (...with disposable income). If you've ever wanted to become a part of something important... and 'bigger than yourself... recruiting and teaching the next generation of beekeepers may be exactly what you're looking for.

Different hive get different colored honey....!!!!! Wow
wow...that's an amazing hive! so...painless, and convenient! granted, you don't get any wax from this hive, but that' samazingly simple to collect the honey! very impressive.
Wow excellent idea beautiful like this you're not bothering them and you'll have pure honey keep going very nice
Супер! Приятно посмотреть на профессиональный подход!
A wonderful invention
Thank you for translation.
I'm salivating just watching this
Now the bees are going to be like we're the hell the honey go I put here 😆
Yo necesito este!!! Esta increíble!
the best harvest i watch
Interesting way to harvest. That's the first time I've seen someone harvest honey like that
keep up the good work guys
That's a beautiful honey cell
man!! what an innovative way to suck out honey without having to disturb the nest!!!.
this seems like a very useful system if you simply want the honey and just don't have the amount of frames needed to warrant a extraction machine.
this is beautifully
that's an amazing idea!

So they start chewing away the caps and fix things the same day it is drained. That's pretty awesome, it means that they will start filling it again real soon.
Magnific 👏👏👏
This cool I love the hives... Am a bee keeper for the last 7 years unfortunately I can't harvest the honey alone. The seems to be easy. Can I get such hives.... En congratulations for your innovation... Am from KENYA

Honey harvesting is best idea for zombie apocalypse. I should have some before zombie apocalypse starts :D
Muy interesante 🌹👍🏻 y con eso no ponen humo a las abejas🤗
Am I correct in saying the cells themselves are already formed for the bees, out of some vinyl or polymer material? Looks like quite the user-friendly, no disturb and get stung operation, but I have concerns about the materials leaching into the honey. Also, as others have stated, there are a variety of uses for which wax would be beneficial.

I believe you can use normal frames that the bees build on normally alongside the Flow frames. That way you can collect wax from the normal frames.
Amazing
I like ur technology. Super
I'm curious if the honey produced is exactly the same as that produced by the standard waxed based frame template that apiarists usually used? Honey is essentially a dehydrated hydrolysed sucrose solution, if it's not exactly separated between cells (i.e. a little be seeps between your two sheering structures) isn't this going to affect the ability of bees to re-digest the sugars then dehydrated with wing fanning?
that is a really nice hive i love your observation viewer what is that nethod you are using i have seen the plastic frames before but not the self draining honey ones, that is amazing and so fast .
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 excelent job.
Ребята вы волшебники
C'est une revolution dans le monde de l apiculture, je dirai tout simplement fabileux.
Wow.. that's great honey and box. How to make the box? May you show us the tutorial of making the bees box. Thank you.
I would like see something about making sure the bees have enough food for the winter with this method. Also once the honey is drained will you have to remove the frame and clean where the bees added wax?

Also, are the plastics you are planning on using specified up to high heat? Hives can get pretty messy and mucked up after a while you'll need to eventually melt the mucky mixture of waxes and other natural hydrocarbons out? Are the materials robust against more aggressive chemical treatments?
@karenrobertsdottir4101

I don't know exactly what plastic they use, but it's described as a food grade plastic, so it better well tolerate hot water. As for chemical treatments, it depends what you mean. Plastics in general are pretty corrosion resistant, but it depends on the circumstances. Anyway, it would seem an incredible, unrealistic oversight to choose a plastic that can't handle standard cleaning practices.

I personally feel that this is one of the latest and the coolest invention of extracting honey out of the hives without being stung, disturbed the bees and destroy the combs. Please share how have you made this or how to buy this from you.
