    ThermoGrade™

    A hive upgrade your bees will love

    Our original innovation revolutionised honey harvesting, and it’s now available in new ThermoGrade™, a long-lasting, lightweight timber with improved insulative properties.

    Strong & durable

    Using an innovative, chemical-free thermal treatment, we've created a timber that improves longevity by making it less susceptible to fungi and bacteria, warping, swelling, or shrinking.

    Paint it your way - apply two coats of exterior house paint for extra protection against the elements. It’s the perfect canvas to get creative!

    Insulative & lightweight

    ThermoGrade Paulownia is a very lightweight, fine-grained, and warp-resistant timber. It has natural insulating qualities which have been improved with our thermal treatment process – great news for cold climates, overwintering, and hot summers.

    Innovative base design

    Pest & ventilation control for every climate

    The Flow Hive 2 base is considerately designed for pest management, ventilation control and functionality. Including spirit levels for gaining the optimal hive set-up, a multifunctional tray for hive observations and applying pest treatments, and ventilation controls to suit every climate.

    Flow Hive Stand

    Keep your hive level and dry

    This handy optional* feature allows you to control the height and level of your hive perfectly, ensuring the correct slope for honey harvesting. Keep your hive dry and off the ground, preventing ground-dwelling pests from gaining easy access.

    Flow Ant Guards

    Keep out unwanted visitors

    An elegant solution to keeping these tiny pests out of your hive, these adjustable ant guards are made in Australia from 100% recycled polypropylene. They are sustainably produced, providing a space for creating a liquid ant barrier on the legs of your hive stand.

    (*Hive Stand option only)

    Add a Flow Super Lifter to your apiary

    Bees rarely find their way into empty beehive boxes, even though they are designed to be a perfect home for them.

    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.

    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.

    Yes!
    The Flow Hive is successfully in use in all climates wherever beekeeping is possible.

    Beekeeping is a fascinating hobby which when approached with knowledge, skill and dedication can be incredibly rewarding.

    It is important to understand some basic safety guidelines to ensure that your beekeeping experience is a safe and positive one.

    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.
