How-to prepare your Flow Hive frames and give your bees a head start. If you own a Flow Hive or a Flow Hive 2 and the bees aren't taking to the flow frames this simple tip should get them pointed in the right direction. I have heard many people say "The bees are not sealing the flow frames" or "the bees don't like the flow frames" but they may just need a little push in the right direction. I am pre-waxing the flow frames to make it easier for the bees to complete the frames in time for the spring nectar flow. Last year I was only able to harvest from one flow hive because the bees in the second hive never finished waxing the frames. When I installed the first flow hive last season I had pre-waxed the frames and the bees took right to it. I hope that pre-waxing the flow hive frames works on the second flow hive this year. Below I have provided Amazon links for the items and supplies I discussed in the video.

Here is a link to buy a flow hive if you are interested.

Here is a link to some Flow frames. This is a cheaper alternative to buying an entire Flow Hive. You will have to build your own box but these will work:

 If you are considering installing a sustainable or edible landscape or becoming a beekeeper or starting beekeeping as a hobby this is the channel for you. I will show you everything I learned in my first year of beekeeping and you can learn with me as I experience and overcome the challenges I encounter in my second year and beyond. I will also feature some how-to videos because I am perpetually curious and creative and am always building something.

Thank you for visiting my channel and I really hope you like, subscribe, and ring the bell.
