What's included.Every Scratch & Dent hive begins as premium western red cedar timber in our workshop. And if the timber doesn’t meet our strict QC standards, we repurpose it into fully functional Scratch & Dent hives instead of letting it go to waste.
You may need to make a few small adjustments during assembly, but the result is a premium Flow Hive experience with extra character.
We believe premium western red cedar deserves a second chance. By repurposing timber with cosmetic imperfections, we’re able to reduce waste, honour natural resources, and make the Flow experience more accessible to more beekeepers.

Many experienced beekeepers recommend keeping more than one hive to help manage swarms, provide stronger colony support, and increase resilience across your apiary. Scratch & Dents make it easier to grow your setup with the Flow Hive 2+ experience using repurposed timber - at a more accessible price.
Flow was founded with the goal to help people connect more deeply with bees and nature - and that commitment extends into the way we produce, repurpose, and give back.
From our Scratch & Dent hives to our Flow Pollinator Houses, we believe premium timber deserves a second chance.
By repurposing woodware and manufacturing offcuts, we're reducing waste while creating homes that help both honey bees and native pollinators thrive.
Sustainability starts with thoughtful design.
From durable western red cedar and organic cotton protective gear to carefully selected suppliers and responsible manufacturing practices, we create products designed to be used, repaired, and enjoyed for years to come.
Through our charitable initiative, Billions of Blossoms, we support projects that help pollinators, biodiversity, and communities flourish.
Together with our global community, we're helping create a future where people and pollinators can thrive side by side.
