Hi everyone,

I am 16 years old and bought a Western Red Cedar Flow Hive in April of this year. I have now had bees in my hive for just over two weeks, so I am very new to beekeeping. I live in the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest, in Queensland, Australia, the oldest in the world and have created an Instagram account documenting my adventure as a beginning beekeeper. Please feel free to check it out - my username is beeniehoney 😋 Thank you! 😊🙂

Happy beekeeping,  
Victor

Very exciting, are you the youngest Flow owner then?

That sounds interesting 🙂

Feel free to post some photos and videos here, as I’ve never used Instagram (eek) 😨  
p.s. I think you tag flowhive if you want to share your Flow Hive experiences…  
Don’t know if it’s @ or # (need to read the help menu 😛 )

Might be like Facebook was for me many years ago 😉

Oh come on, @Eva! You have to admit that most of us are teenagers (or younger) at heart. 😄 After all, we like building boxes out of wood, playing with insects and getting all dirty and sticky! 😜

Thanks Beenie, I just double checked how you spelt expert. Plenty of experts here, not too many eggsperts you’ll be pleased to know.
