FINAL UPDATE:
We like our BeeThinking top-bar hive. And although we want to try the Flow frames, we weren’t really looking for a vertical hive for a second hive. So we cancelled the entire Flow Hive 2 order, and have decided to build a horizontal Flow hive to accommodate six Flow frames (three at each end of the hive) and 18 brood frames between them. Something like John Wilton’s horizontal Flow hive pictured at: https://forum.honeyflow.com/t/way-to-go-horizontal-flow-hive/12967
