After waiting all this time and delays etc, i received just a few days back that my package has been shipped via DHL, which actually DHL delivered it in Cyprus with in 1.5 days!
I even got so exited that i arranged with a beekeeper that i know, to come and see it and order more frames for him and show him how to adapt his brood boxes, and organize a transfer of a hive and place it in my olive grove.
Unfortunately as i ordered long time ago the Complete Full Flow™ Hive, with supposedly 6 Flow frames, tubes key etc, those super super duper invoating easy flow frames did not arrive and where not in the box with all the wooden parts.
I paid 751 dollars for the full box with 6 frames! I have been waiting all the time, delays and waiting; eventually receiving the wooden frames without the actual flow frames, made me extremely disappointed in the level that i really wondered whether it actually worth the prepayment support!
The reply of the support is even more frustrating and worse the support telephone for Europe do not work!
I got my wooden parts and an still waiting on my Flow Frames, but I did get an email telling me this about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Maybe the email to others went to Spam?
Panic Not ! The upper honey super is not used at first. Where do you live ? Some/many regions like mine near Seattle start with double brood boxes.
Are you having Nuc’s or Packaged bees for starting ? In beekeeping it’s wise to have backup plans. I have built extra supers just incase. Extra 8 frame cedar boxes can be ordered from Beethinking.com in Oregon … USA …
as i said above i had the same problem! which was solved with in a few days! the new shipment was send few days after. just be patient as they will reply as they did to all my requests email etc as well! i guess they are overwhelmed with the demand!
LOL! Maybe so haha! As is I’d be lucky to need my Flow Frames this year since I have 1 Deep and 2 Medium Brood boxes (8 frame) to fill with my new NUC (in late May)
I’m sorry your post was missed. Perhaps you have gotten answers in another area of the forum?
The plastic flow frames are produced in Australia and shipped in one box from there. The woodware is shipped from Oregon in the USA. So it is normal for the items to not arrive at the same time.
I received the flow frames a few weeks ago and am ready to pick up my bees on 4/30. I’m in Dallas, TX and hoping to get the brood box rocking & rolling before it gets too hot.
