Perfect entry-level hive

Designed to make harvesting honey easier for the beekeeper and so much gentler on the bees.

The very best in protective gear

Tend to your bees with confidence wearing our highest grade, unbleached, GOTS-certified organic cotton bee suit – perfect for new and experienced beekeepers.

📏 Get the right fit.

Organic cotton suit

This premium suit is crafted from GOTS-certified organic cotton and built for comfort in the apiary. Features include a fully removable fencing veil for quick gear-up, elastic thumb and ankle stirrups to keep everything in place, and a relaxed fit that moves with you — so you can inspect your bees without bunching, slipping, or second-guessing your gear.

"The material is comfortable and soft and is a great fit. It’s very easy to move around in." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Sarah G.

Bee smoker

A quality beekeeping smoker is a must-have in every beekeeper’s kit.

The Flow Smoker is used to mask the alarm pheromone emitted when the hive is disturbed, which helps your bees stay calm during inspections.

"The smoker is easy to light and stays alight well. An excellent piece of beekeeping kit" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Michelle W..

Bee gloves

Made from ultra-soft goatskin for maximum dexterity, breathable mesh for airflow, and GOTS-certified organic cotton gauntlets that stop bees from sneaking up your arms. Elastic cuffs at the elbow lock everything in place, so you stay focused on your bees.

"Awesome gloves. They are soft enough to feel frames yet durable to resist stings. They are the best gloves I’ve bought and still lasting." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Jamie M.

Incredible tasting honey

Enjoy pure, unadulterated honey that captures the unique seasonal variations in colour and flavour, from your very own backyard.

💬 What people are saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What I love about the Flow hive is the ability to draw honey off a single frame.

This allows my family and friends to enjoy the enormous variety of honey flavours.

Through out this year we have from a single hive sampled honey made from Dogwood, Clover, Tea tree (Manuka), Flowering Gum, American Elm, Lavender and Nisa nectar.

Each of these flowering on and around our property in specific month of the year.

We have even harvested a frame mid winter.

No other honey harvesting system can do this. Plus it does not intrude on the bees themselves.

A perfect system allowing our bees to flourish and honey to share.

🍯 Scientifically proven flavours

A University of Queensland study has confirmed a unique difference between Flow harvested honey and commercially produced, processed honey.

The study, which was published in the Science of Food and Agriculture, found the Flow Frame extraction method yields honey with fresher, cleaner flavors than conventionally extracted honey.

Australian made

Designed and manufactured in Australia using precision laser cutting, from locally grown, sustainably sourced Araucaria.

"What a fabulous well-made product. Extremely well engineered and manufactured. Went together like hand and glove. Love it."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Lawrence W.
