Flow Hive

Flow Hive is the Australian company behind the flow frame, a design that lets honey drain from the comb through a tap without pulling frames or spinning an extractor. It runs on standard Langstroth dimensions, so the boxes still fit ordinary equipment.

The appeal is obvious for a keeper who dreads the messy harvest, and the build quality is high. The catch is the price, which is well above a plain wooden kit, and the tap system can tempt beginners to skip proper inspections, so the bees still need regular checking whatever the frame promises.
