Make your garden thrive
Gardeners know how important pollination is – whether you’re into prize-winning blooms, or feeding your family from your vegetable plot, our little garden allies are completely necessary for the health and reproduction of our plants.
To harvest honey, it’s no longer necessary to spend hours engaged in sticky time-consuming work, which requires lots of heavy lifting, resulting in bee stings and lots of dead bees.

Harvest honey straight from the hive
A Flow Hive takes all the hard work out of harvesting honey. Turn the Flow Key and watch as pure, fresh honey flows right out of the hive and into your jar.
The gentlest method of honey harvesting ever developed, the Flow Hive can be used anywhere – from rooftops and balconies to backyards or acreage, this elegant system eliminates the need for a lot of space and for expensive and cumbersome honey extraction equipment.
Experience flavours foraged from blooms in your very own garden to create a unique, delicious honey blend.
Home grown veggies with Joh Griggs
Find out how Aussie Television icon Johanna Griggs got completely hooked on beekeeping and now has a plentiful harvest every season.
I wanted to produce all of our vegetables that we could live off and I knew a huge part of having a successful veggie garden was not only compost and soil but actually pollination.

Maximise your harvest this season
Meet Kimberly Dominesey, who with the help of her Flow Hive has managed to add homegrown fruit, vegetables and honey to her family’s pantry 🐝🌱🍯
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!
So why are the bees disappearing?
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.

How do Flow Frames Work?
How do I get bees?

There are a number of ways of starting a colony, from buying a package of bees, to receiving a hive split or catching a swarm.
We also have a range of videos and blogs to help you understand the different ways in which you can source bees for your new hive.

I have a small yard or rooftop, can I still have a hive?
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.
Is there any safety information I need to be aware of?
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.
