Accidentally dropped a flow frame and it “disassembled” when it hit the ground. How can I re-assemble given that the pieces are held together with tensioned wire? ---

I will send you the instructions to your email. Can you pm me the email address you used when you first ordered. We don’t have the info on our website because of our knock-off’s copying all our information. ---

Tried to use video, 2 problems. The suffix .opdownload needed to be deleted to create an mp4. That worked but video stopped at 44 seconds, clock continued but video stopped. ---

Hmmm strange… I watched it before I sent it to make sure it worked, and have just watched it again. It’s an mp4 and plays with Quicktime on my mac. I will send it again through my private email. ---

Thank you the video worked fine this time. My re-assembly problem appears to be with the locating the two wires. I am finding it difficult to fit it over the two end pieces. I’ll keep trying but may need further advice if that’s Ok. ---

Okay, you may need to use some pliers / needle nose pliers to slip the wire over the end. Let me know how you go 🙂 ---

They slip on and off - this is how the Flow Frames can be adjusted to different lengths to adapt to different bee hive sizes. ---

I have tried using pliers and other levers without success. The wire is too tight to fit over the end pieces. ---

I have mnaged to fit the top wire easily, same as displayed in the video. It’s the bottom wire that is impossible. ---
