Flow Frame Extraction outside the Hive

<< < (2/2)

Wombat2:
Thanks Beelab - like the idea of if I bind them together some way to make them stable it should work. Haven't checked if genuine or not but have been looking for a Flow Hive at "the right price" to  experiment with. Reports are indicating what probably happens in Langstroth hives but not as recognised till Flow came along and that is bees will fill a frame from one nectar source at a time. Each frame can have noticeably different honey in each.

Easier said than done. One of my Flow Frames came apart while I was trying to clean it and they are not easy to put back together. They are a real pain, took several tries to get it right.

More than happy to take it off your hands Jim.
