    Over 100,000 Flow Hives sold

    Last season we travelled across the USA to connect with our US Flow community. Beekeepers (and their families) from Alaska to California opened their homes and generously shared their stories for our Meet the Beekeeper series.


    Check out our latest episodes to take a walk in another beekeeper’s shoes and see how beekeeping has shaped their lives.

    Your garden will thrive

    Introduce a beehive to your garden and experience the pollination power of up to 5 million flowers a day! 

    Bees and other pollinators are a vital ingredient to ensure your plants bear fruit. They get busy, and (before too long) your abundant vege garden is the talk of the street. 

    What’s more, honey bees produce lots of delicious honey (up to 44 lb per Flow Hive, in fact!)

    Step 2: Learn as much as you can

    ⭐ Feel confident looking after your bees
    ⭐ Access high-quality resources 
    ⭐ Learn in your own time

    One of the most important parts of becoming a beekeeper is learning as much as you can.

    We’ve got you covered, with a swarm of resources available to help you every step of the way, including a weekly Q&A with the inventor, along with email, chat, and phone access to our support team.

    To fast-track your learning easily and enjoyably, we also created an online beginner beekeeping course – TheBeekeeper.org. Learn in your own time with high-quality videos so you can feel confident looking after your bees.

    Taste the difference

    Honey tells the story of its local landscape like nothing else – from its color to its flavor, it allows us to experience our environment in a brand-new way. 

    What’s more, our revolutionary Flow technology lets you harvest in small batches directly to your jar, without the blending of conventional harvesting. The result? Each jar has its own unique taste profile, depending on which flowers the bees have foraged from. You’ll be amazed at the rich variety of colours, flavours and aromas a single hive can produce!

    Step 3: Source your bees

    ⭐ Welcome 40,000 pollinators
    ⭐ Watch your garden thrive
    ⭐ Enjoy delicious honey

    There’s 1 more vital step to becoming a beekeeper. Adding your bees!

    There are several different ways to source a colony for your hive.

    A popular option is to purchase a ‘nuc’ – a small colony which includes a laying queen, workers, drones and 4 or 5 frames of brood and honey.

    What happens next?

    Building a new home for your bees is an exciting part of your beekeeping journey. It’s best to take your time and ensure that you get your assembly right. Check out our assembly videos here.

    It’s important to treat the timber on your hive to give it the best weather protection possible for your climate, especially the roof – it’s the first line of defence against the weather. Read more

    The good news is, you can keep a beehive almost anywhere! Especially a Flow Hive, as there is no need for additional processing equipment or for lugging heavy frames full of honey for harvesting. From rooftops to balconies to backyards, it’s now possible to harvest honey directly from your hive.

    Here are some tips to make sure your location of choice is good for you and for your bees.

    An important part of getting your new hive up and running is ensuring that it’s registered*. This step is a crucial part of becoming a beekeeper and helps protect our biosecurity.

    *Check if your state or local county laws require registration

    Part of beekeeping is ensuring you’re informed about things that may impact not only your bees but the wider beekeeping community, such as biosecurity. The good news is there are a number of simple steps you can take to support the health of your bees when you’re getting started. 

    From staying abreast of any industry news, to registering your hive, to knowing what to look for in terms of pests and diseases, understanding these practices now will set you up for success moving forward!
