Hi Brick,
You can find the info here:
How are 2nd Generation Flow Frames different to the original Flow Frames?
Both our Flow Hive 2 and Flow Hive Classic come with generation 2 Flow Frames.
These contain lots of minor improvements for better functionality, durability and to further minimise any disturbance to the bees during harvest.
These include:
- Adjustments in the cell depth of the moving comb blade, so the movement that forms channels through the comb happens deeper beneath the bees feet for minimal disturbance, this also allows the bees to draw out their comb further.
- A decrease in the cell wall thickness results in a slight increase in the amount of honey that can be stored and harvested from each Flow Frame.
- The central spine of the moving parts is now more robust offering more durability.
- An increase in the reset and lift pressure from the Flow Key is added for better functionality.
- Added radiuses and angles for easier insertion of the Flow Frames when beekeeping.
- Some cosmetic rounded edges have been added on the front lower transparent end.
- Tighter securing cables hold the frame together more securely.
- Upper and lower frame caps now have a handle negating the need for pliers to remove.
