I purchased two complete flow hoop-pine hives a few months ago. I had absolutely zero issues with the wooden-ware and assembled both hives in around 1 hour with no difficulty and without needing to make a single adjustment. I didn’t need clamps either as the joints were so nicely cut and tight. I would happily recommend the flow hive to anyone. I am sorry you had issues- but I just think it should be noted that what happened to you is more of an exception than a rule- I think it’s possible the issues you had related to the very high volume of hives that flow had to produce and ship in the first few months.

I’m glad you had a better experience and I do hope that mine is the exception and not the rule. However, it doesn’t change my experience with the product and therefore when people ask my opinion I let them know that while a lot of people did seem to have good luck with it, I did not and certainly would therefore not recommend it.
I also don’t think that high sales are an excuse for poor quality. I understand that the volumes were initially much higher than they were expecting, but when a company is met with overwhelming support and success by the market, that shouldn’t somehow equate to or excuse a poor-quality product. But, again, I am always happy to hear that others had much better luck with the Flow product than I did, and I wish that were the case across the board.

Hi Faroe, is there a reason you just changed this thread to “unlisted”? I think it’s a little strange to remove it from public view on the forums…
