Do you need queen bee for this to work & produce honey?

“Keeping Bees with a Smile” is an excellent introduction to organic beekeeping. I am able to keep my bees without using chemicals or feeding sugar. I don’t even have to buy bees as I move wild swarms to my hives. Done in this fashion, very little effort is required.

Has anyone used this to collect honey yet? How has it preformed?

We got 15 jars of honey during a fall flow in October 2020. The honey is clean, beautiful, and delicious. This was our second year with this set up, and the bees started depositing honey in the frames during the spring of 2020 (months after we set up this equipment). The summer came early and was so hot and dry, we let them keep all their honey until they had extra stores in a super we placed under the flow hive. That’s why we didn’t take our first harvest until October, while there were still lots of fall wildflowers available to the bees (in south Texas). They were very slow starting to use the plastic frames, but I have read on bee-keeping forums that they will start more quickly if you paint the plastic cells with wax. And the colony needs to be strong and crowded before they will start using these frames. Our bees only used the inner frames, so if you just looked inside the windows cut in the hive box, it appeared that they hadn’t built out the frames. But the box was heavy, very heavy, with the unseen honey inside. I plan to buy more of these and intersperse the used frames with new ones, hoping the previously waxed frames will encourage the bees to get started sooner and build out the frames more completely. The mechanism works very well, easy to use, and beautiful results — but you need to be patient.

Could someone show me the additional products needed on amazon? Like brood box and frames and /or queen excluder so I get and idea what they are?

It comes with the queen excluder, but you will have to buy 10 standard langstrom full frames for the brood box which are easy to get and pretty cheap. Otherwise you just need standard bee equipment like bee suit, gloves, smoker, etc.

Authentic flow hives are patented in the usa. this copy-cat version is not authentic. how can it be shipped legally into the us?

Copy cat or not. This product goes together better than the Flow brand and at half the cost
