Please don't short change yourself from the joy of teaching and sharing beekeeping information, or those who would learn best from you as a teacher!

Sold me on the flow hive. Been looking at these to get into it, and it seems like a no-brainer for ease and production and it's an impressive design.

Valoro85 Um. That sounds like a personal problem.

Fred, as someone very interested - but not yet a beekeeper - your video was very insightful and inspiring. Your video angles and composition are amazing as well. Also, your accurate narration really adds to the overall experience. You cleared up quite a few real-world questions I had, and I would like to see you continue to video capture your harvests for the sake of documentation and information gathering so those who are so outspoken (and have kept me from going with Flow Hive to be honest - for now) can be countered. Thanks you so much for taking the time to do this. It truly is wonderful to witness this amazing work of nature. My sincerest thanks to you.

Hi Ryan! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for viewing my videos. It's nice knowing that I hit on key points that you needed to know about. As winter passes and spring arrives, yes, I plan to continue with flowhive and general honey bee videos with explanations regarding what to expect. Thanks again and welcome to my channel :)

Simple and real. So happy and grateful to get to your video with all of the information. Thank you! ❤️

Thank you Gail, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Frederick, thank you for your Flowhive videos. Like you, I purchased early (6 frame). Like you, I was annoyed with the initial workmanship of the cedar box and hardware. Unlike you, I had no idea what I'm doing with bees. Family intervened. I put the project away until now due to many major family travels and my lack of understanding.You're filling many of my gaps in understanding that the inventors appeared to assume away. One item that still perplexes me is how the boxes merely, loosely stack on each other, and being unconnected - lacking rigid support. We have wind in the northern plains. Your use of ballast on the hive roofs, your measuring of hive slope, and your 'take off stations' made perfect sense. Thanks again.

I absolutely love your channel love watching with the flow frames so kind love from Australia 🇦🇺

Hi Lynn, I hope that this winter passes quickly for all of us. In the mean time, you'll have lots of time for learning, hope your first experience is a great one!

I watched your video for 10 minutes and I passed out for 5 hours. That is one soothing voice, my man.

It's a sad truth... please don't listen to my vids while driving (';')( ';')....

Love this video. That huuuge jar.. First empty.. Then FULL.. Wow.. I love nature. Its amazing :-D And nice voice over. Good speaking voice :)

Wonderful video Frederick, We just did the second extraction on our hive with similar result. living in the part of Australia where we do we dont realy get a winter, just a couple of cooler months so I'm keen to see how the bees production is affected by the weather here. Thanks a lot mate :-)

Wow, beautiful flow of honey, I always wondered how they collect the end product, and if the big commercial factories are mix it with sugar or something to get more quantity. I’m not a bee keeper, but I’m impressed with your respectful and patient way you educate us. Thank you.

Awesome video and amazing camera work! Thank you! Wow I can't believe how much honey!

Thank you for this video

Mr. Dunn: I'm rather envious after watching this. I've always been fascinated with apiaries and beekeeping, but since an incident with a sting as a teenager that nearly killed me (anaphylaxis is no fun!) I'll never be able to try it. Doesn't stop me from playing Pooh and eating the lovely stuff though! Thanks for the informative videos. They give a great deal of vicarious pleasure.

New person, gotta say i like how smart bees are with engineering, its kinda mind boggling to think theyve been doin this since before we were in trees

Hi Frederick, Been waiting for videos to start popping up on the FH. Glad to see you did a couple and are having good results. People ask me all the time what my opinion is on the system but since I don't use them I didn't really have one. Now when they ask, I'll send them to your videos. Well done.

Hi Romy! Thank you so much for your comment, and you are doing the right thing by learning as much as you can before jumping in with bee keeping. I hope everything works out well for you!
