I’ve only had a flow hive for about two months now. I read somewhere on these forms to put wax all over the flow hive frames. In fact, Cedar from flow hive recommended it. I haven’t harvested any honey yet, But on my last inspection they were packing the flow hive frames with honey! I had initially set it up where one flow hive I put wax on the frames and the one beside it I did not. The one with wax on the frames got so many bees so much faster that after one week I went ahead and put it on the hive without wax.
