Flow hive

Great find!

So... if the idea didn't catch on in the 1940's, what's changed to make it work now?

The internet. More gullible punters easily accessed.

Exactly. Though it just might work for some people in some circumstances - I wouldn't rule it out.

I didn't do much to find it, just pasted the link from a Bee-L post.

Lines 10-11 in the Claims: "… the work of collecting the honey, which is long, fatiguing and even dangerous …" makes our gentle pastime sound positively macho.

I wondered if it is an advanced 1st April posting ?. I also notice the absence of bees around the "honey" outlet. My bees would be in VERY close attendance.

As would the local Wasps!

You are all wrong. In a typical Scottish summerit's too cold for the honey to flow....:-)

I see theres now a video posted on the net of the thing in action. My honey is much thicker than theirs so wouldn't flow like that. None of it seemed to be sealed so could lead to fermentation of unripe "honey"
