Hi Peter, thank you so much for your response. Your message sounds optimistic. I have been visiting a bee keeper´s school in Slovakia for the first year but no one of the teachers are familiar with Flow Hive harvesting. But I appreciate the lessons of traditional bee keeping very much there. I wonder about the chance to get a Flow Hive mentor in Slovakia. It is the idea of my daughter living in Sweden to purchase a Flow Hive. Both me and her are not sure if it works in Slovak Republic. I would also like to make some ready up measures before I order a Flow Hive. Does exist any list of Flow Hive preparations? Do I have to purchase a Langstroth hive to make my traditional be keeping compatible with the planned flow hive? Do you have any detailed sizing info? I received one be family on B9 frames (420x275mm) on late autumn. It is wintering in my garden and I am worrying about the spring. Is it necessary to follow any compatibility between traditional hive and Flow Hive bee keeping? Thanks in advance. ---
