Award-winning invention

Harvest honey with ease

Start beekeeping in spring with the Flow Hive – enjoy honey directly from the hive into your jar. There's no heavy lifting & only minimal space is required.

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

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.

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!

ThermoGrade™

Flow Hive 2

Watch as pure, fresh honey flows right out of the hive and into your jar.

No need for expensive processing equipment, heavy lifting or hours of hot, sticky work to harvest.
