Starting as an IndieGoGo campaign in February 2015, Stuart and Cedar Anderson were looking for $70,000 to make their easy to use beehive, Flow Hive, a reality. Within 15 minutes of the campaign going live they reached $250,000. The campaign ended in April 2015 with a total of $13,261,609 raised. Flow Hive is an innovation in beekeeping allowing you to look after bees and harvest their honey as easy as pulling a pint of beer. The magic is in the cells where the bees make their honey. Usually these cells are built by the bees from wax, and when it comes time to harvest the honey, it’s a very time consuming, labour-intensive job and often means bees get crushed in the process. Flow Hive have their own cells which, once filled with honey, at the turn of a key the cells separate to let the honey easily flow out of the hive and straight into your honey jar. Flow Hive Classic Cedar has 6 inner frames and multiple viewing windows, so you can keep an eye on what your bees
