I have enough bees in the brood hive.My Flow hive come from a friend in Australia.
that is good news, on both accounts. sounds like patience will deliver what you seek.
Hi Snowbolls.
I am located in Taipo-Hong Kong and just received my flow hive. Very new to this!
Do you want to connect since we are so close?
Where did you get your bees from? I’m interested in purchasing a nuc.
Would appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Marc
Our honey flow here in central Texas is the wildflower, Indian Blanket. It will be blooming in about 6 weeks. To get my hive ready for the flow, I put down a queen excluder and the new Flow super on top of that. I put a half gallon feeder on the top.
The bees have to travel through the Flow super to get their feed. It took about a week to get them comfortable with the new super, but now they have moved in. I’m going to keep them moving through the Flow super 'till the flow starts in about 6 weeks. When our flow starts, they should have no problem knowing were to store all that delicious wild flower honey!

You might want to let them eat the syrup feed before they mix it with nectar, but I am sure you had already thought of that… 
So when you harvest you will be harvesting sugar syrup mixed with honey.
No. When the flow starts, I’ll drain the Flow frames.

Snowbolls comes from ShenZhen, China. That is the counterfeit capital of the world. I wonder if he is involved or knows anything about all the counterfeit Flow hives & frames now readily availible on ebay ?
