FlowHive: Our First Harvest!!!

2017-10-29 1 Dailymotion

This was our very first Flow Hive harvest! \r
\r
It took the bees one full month (June) to fill the flow frames with honey.\r
\r
It took about 2 hours to harvest all honey. On a 90 degree F day. \r
\r
We believe our honey was flowing so fast and overflowing due to it being such a hot day. So, if you are harvesting when it is over 90 degrees definitely only break open 1/3 of the frame at a time, otherwise you should be good to break open the entire whole frame at once. \r
\r
We yielded about 3 1/2 gallons of honey, weighed at 45 pounds (excluding containers)
