PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Our in-house manufacturing team has very high QC standards, which means that when packing our Flow Hive 2, some pieces get put aside that are not perfect but still very usable.
Sustainability is a core value for all of us at Flow. We offer the Flow Hive 2 Scratch & Dent to those who also believe that it's better to make good use of our natural resources and are prepared to tinker a little. If tinkering isn't for you then please see our Flow Hive 2.
With must-have features, including a pest management system, optional hive stand, brass hardware, and a Flow harvesting shelf kit, this elegant beehive is perfect for beginners or experienced beekeepers.
The Flow Hive 2 includes two observation windows in the specially modified Flow Super, a unique base with ventilation control and inbuilt multipurpose tray plus our distinctive gabled roof.
Includes premium grade Flow Frames & hardware
The timberware may be scratch & dent, however, this hive contains premium generation 2 Flow Frames, featuring our revolutionary honey harvesting technology. You'll also find A-grade hardware and features including an entrance reducer and adjustable hive stand.

With Flow’s patented technology you can harvest honey from individual frames directly into your jar – no blending or processing required. Enjoy pure, unadulterated honey that captures the unique seasonal variations in colour and flavour, from your very own backyard.

Bees rarely find their way into empty beehive boxes, even though they are designed to be a perfect home for them.
There are a number of ways of starting a colony, from buying a package of bees, to receiving a hive split or catching a swarm.

It is important to understand some basic safety guidelines to ensure that your beekeeping experience is a safe and positive one.
Beekeeping suits and other personal protective equipment can offer excellent prevention against bee stings but are not 100 percent effective. It’s important new beekeepers exercise caution when tending to their hives and are comfortable with the fact that sooner or later, all beekeepers get stung.
