Flow Hive is a beehive designed to allow honey to be extracted simply by turning a knob: the hive does not have to be opened and the bees are not disturbed as in normal extraction.
The frames contain a partially-formed plastic honeycomb silicone with vertical gaps. Bees fill in these gaps with beeswax and the cells with honey. When the mechanism of the frames is activated, the vertical gaps are offset by one half of a cell, breaking the wax covering and allowing the honey to flow down through the cells into a channel at the base of each frame and out into a collection vessel.[1] The system is then reset and the bees remove the capping and refill the cells, beginning the process again.[1] Some critics question the use of plastic, although plastic foundation is commonly used in conventional beekeeping. The Flow Hive uses a BPA and BPS free plastic, allowing the bees to produce their own natural wax comb in the brood nest.
