Frames Leaking before Harvest

[chau06]

It does seem that sometimes, especially in the first fill, that the cells leak into the collection trough. You can clear the leak back point and clean the channel and just monitor. The bees will clean the nectar/honey that leaks back into the hive.

Look at these threads for some info and search the forum fir many other posts on cleaning/clearing the channel:

Honey leak or cause for concern?

I noticed I’ve got what appears to be honey residing at the bottom. Is this normal or an indication of a leak? Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! [image]

Frames are leaking honey

I have had my flow hive for over a year and only harvested 1 frame. The bees are filling the cells and capping the majority of them but I have noticed that the hole where you put your tube into is always half full of honey on all the frames. I have used my key to make sure that the cells are closed properly but it still keeps happening. Any suggestions to why?? List item
