Our zucchini are doing much better this year with the bees. Last year we had four plants and got one zucchini. This year we had six plants, and eight zucchini at the very beginning of the season! The bees seem to be doing a great job there!
Loss of habitat, lack of forage and increased use of pesticides is having an alarming impact on our pollinators. Many areas are experiencing a decrease in the availability of insects, and in extreme cases, trees are being pollinated by hand to make up for the lack of natural pollination.
The prospect of a world without bees is a scary one, considering that approximately 30% off our food crops and 90% of our plants depend upon them.
The good news is that there is plenty we can do!
Have you ever thought of adding a beehive to your yard? It’s good for your garden and great for the earth.

Yes! Flow Hives are perfect for setting-up just about anywhere.
You will need enough space to access the back of the hive for easy harvesting and your bees will require a clear space at the front of the hive for their flight path.
You'll also need to check-in with local governing bodies to find out if there are any regulations that you need to be aware of.
Here are some of our top tips on where to set up your beehive.
Beekeeping is a labor of love. As with all animal husbandry, it’s a pastime that requires knowledge, skill and dedication and which carries with it inherent risks.
Beekeeping suits and other personal protective equipment can offer excellent prevention against bee stings but are not 100 percent effective. It’s important new beekeepers exercise caution when tending to their hives and are comfortable with the fact that sooner or later, all beekeepers get stung.
Check out this Flow sponsored safety pamphlet covering common beekeeping safety risks and first aid responses.
We have strictly limited quantities of our hives so you'll have to act quick to ensure you don’t miss out.
