The Flow Hive is invented by father-son duo Stuart and Cedar Anderson of Northern Rivers, NSW.
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.
We also have a range of videos and blogs to help you understand the different ways in which you can source bees for your new hive.

You'll also need to check-in with local governing bodies to find out if there are any regulations that you need to be aware of.
