Hi Guys,
I am completely new to beekeeping, based in Dubai and looking for other beekeepers in the city of other emirates to share knowledge. I am aware of locals in the Al Ain area who keep bees, but would still like to connect with other expats with some experience on how to deal with the summer et al.
Regards
Allan
Hi Allan,
I recently purchased a flow hive in Abu Dhabi
Could you tell about your experience?
Hello guys,
I am from Abu Dhabi and completely new to beekeeping.
I am in local guy with Omani groups who share their experiances, but sometimes i feel asking silly questions makes them get sick! well some professional they have no time to teach starters all bit and small things (thats life unfortunately).
So let me start with my experiance, I bought five nuc with bees, and puchased Flow (7 frames), at first i thought once I put in the Flow frames the bees will jump to it!Nope!! that’s what didn’t happen with me at all… i was struggling with them, so i had to buy bee wax from souq.com and painted the frames with it, mmmm still no luck, so i had to ask someone here at honeyflow specialist, and they told me you need to have plenty of bees to get them use the Flow frames… I am yet in the process of getting my bees stronger, try to feed them 1/1 water sugar… even thu the season has started already now and will end June as the group were saying.
Can you tell me all what was your experiance please? difficulties you’ve faced? solutions?
You can reach me at our website www.farmstay.ae

Hi Mohamed, I live in dubai, had 2 pcs of flow hive which have been kept for long time without use, however last winter was quite warm which encouraged me to use the flow frames as the bees were doing very good and 10 frame were completely full of brood/honey. I installed the flow frames super on top of normal 10 frames langstroth brood box. There are few ml difference in the size but it worked fine! I was surprised to see the bees filling the flow frames so fast. Please let menknow how yours were doing?

hello guys,
i was wondering if i can order flow hive from UAE, that would be great.
Pretty sure they ship almost everywhere. Although, UAE isn’t listed…
Go the honeyflow.com and the international storefront. If you have problems email info@honeyflow.com
Hi Ahmed,
We do ship to UAE, however, this is off our standard shipping routes so we’d need to set up a manual order for you. Could I trouble you to please email info@honeyflow.com with your order requirements (hives/supers/suits/smokers including the quantity of each) as well as your full name, address, email and phone number for the order, and we’ll get it set up for you, and email a secure link for the payment.
Thanks for your interest - and thanks Alok for the tag 
Ahlan, How is the beekeeping going in Dubai and the UAE there is a lot of lovely gardens there that would benefit from bees and the bees would benefit from. I live in Canberra and this year my bees are loving the wet and hot days.
