After a disappointing loss of hives over the winter, the Honey Hive Team is back in beesiness with 5 hives! How did this happen? Well, it started with catching a swarm hanging off a pine tree in the A2B2 Teaching Apiary, then the A2B2 Queen Rearing Program was kind enough to donate 2 overwintered nucs, then we were able to split the winter survivor hive which has grown like crazy in just the last few weeks. We already have one Flow Hive super on and the bees were working on filling it as of yesterday, so fingers crossed for a bountiful spring harvest! Watch this space for further updates and opportunities to help out the A2B2 Honey Team! If you would like to join the A2B2 Flow Hive Team or would like to know more about the Flow Hive in general, please contact Jen Haeger at [email protected].

What is a Flow Hive?
A Flow Hive is a Langstroth-style hive system with plastic frames which allow honey to be harvested directly from the hive. www.honeyflow.com/pages/how-flow-works Archives
