Can honey actually flow out of a hive?

January 29, 2018 1 Comment

This is a new type of hive that we were experimenting with in 2017. We have evaluated the product and have made them available for sale.

In addition to being a garden masterpiece, it saves hobbyist beekeepers significant money as you don't need to purchase expensive extracting equipment.

Hello Hiveworld!
I was very excited to find you this year! I got my first hive in 2019 and absolutely loved watching my bees. I purchased the Flowhive and had no problems with it. I was able to harvest 8 cups of honey which I was totally impressed with. It didn’t disrupt the bees while I harvested and it was easy and clean. I see you have the same concept and just maybe, if I get ambitious I might have to get a second hive from you this year!

How to Wrap Your Hives for The Winter?

November 24, 2022

Hives can benefit from being wrapped to make it easier for the bees to stay warm during the winter. As we have mentioned before in our previous blog, no one solution will fit everyone's needs. You as the beekeeper will need to analyze and customize your approach to winter prep depending on your region and climate. For most of Western and Northern Canada beekeepers benefit from wrapping and insulating their hives as the drops in temperature can be quite significant. The colder it is outside the hive, the more energy the colony will need to expand to keep itself warm. More energy means more food will be consumed, which can raise the possibility that there will not be enough food stores to last through the winter.

There's no one size fits all when it comes down to overwintering your bees. Each location comes with its own microclimates that will determine what you need to consider when insulating your hive. Things like: Sunlight, Wind, Rain, etc.

What Can I Use for Varroa Mite Treatment at The End of October?

October 14, 2022

Oxalic Acid treatment. This is a very effective treatment for late fall and early spring. The reason is that during this time you will have almost no capped brood, which is the ideal time to use oxalic acid. The treatment is only effective on the bees and is unable to penetrate through the comb. It’s safe for the bees and is entirely natural. Oxalic acid is an organic compound that can be found in many vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and other plants. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for Varroa Mite and approved to be used in Canada for many years.
