> [@Ronald\_Shenberger](#): > > What is the solution to this problem. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Quite a few people have mentioned it and there are several possible causes. First of all, have you read the Honeyflow harvest checklist? [http://www.honeyflow.com/resources/harvesting-checklist/p/197](http://www.honeyflow.com/resources/harvesting-checklist/p/197) It was also discussed extensively on this thread: > [@Has this happened to anyone else?](http://forum.honeyflow.com/t/has-this-happened-to-anyone-else/8006): > > We crack our flowhive to harvest the honey we have six flowhives we cracked them one at a time. when we cracked the fourth one it gushed out the bottom into the brood box! we continued to crack the next ones they worked fine. The fourth one gushed into the brood box all the way through to the platform base Has this happen to anyone else? What do we do now? How do clean this up? We don’t know if our queen survived, if not what do we do? Perhaps you will see something helpful there. 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.honeyflow.com/t/honey-flooding-during-extraction/8170)._
