Hi Brick, You can find the info here: > [@Exact Differences Flow Hive 2](https://forum.honeyflow.com/t/exact-differences-flow-hive-2/16455/8): > > Hi Mark, To see the differences laid out in writing, the best place to look is the Indiegogo page: Frederick Dunn’s video is a pretty good video on how the Flow Hive 2 is different to the Classic: Made by us We have redesigned the Flow Hive 2 from the ground up and are manufacturing it in-house in Australia, using precision laser cutting. This allows us to focus on quality control and ensure the highest levels of sustainability throughout the process, whilst giving us the abil… **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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.honeyflow.com/t/1st-and-2nd-generation-flow-frames/20120)._
