Whats the difference between the FLOW HIVE and the FLOW SUPER?

Flow Hive
3

You need a brood box at the bottom - this is where the queen lays her eggs and the babies are born. You need this bottom box (brood box), or there is nowhere for the bees to make more bees :smile:the top box is called the super. The difference in a flow hive or flow super is that there are flow frames in the top super, not regular frames.
There should be no eggs, babies, queen, etc, in this top super box - in the complete flow hive we sell, it includes a queen excluder so you can’t have the queen going up into the top part to lay eggs in the flow frames.
If you buy only a flow super - you will need to buy all the other parts - brood box, roof, etc.
If you buy the complete flow hive from us you will have everything you need to get started minus the bees, and the bee suit.
