Beehive with resultant honey collected $ 2 million

Kraudfandingovaya campaign has just begun, but the funding has already been completed by 3000%


February 14 network has video with demonstration Project hive to extract honey from which it suffices to substitute container and wait until it is filled. Movie had great popularity and won a million views in two days. Actually кампания kraudfaninga , which called for roller participate, began on 22 February and her success was no less oshelomitelen: Indiegogo project became the champion on speed dial the first and second million.

This is not surprising: the extraction of honey from the hives - the most laborious and time-consuming work in beekeeping. Traditionally, this operation consists of a set of steps, the main ones being the opening of the hive, the bees removal, printing honeycombs with honey and centrifuge extractor unit. Also possible run-off of honey without any help, and thermal effects. A project of the Australian Flow offers a solution in which to extract the honey do not need to open the hive and the bees worry - you just have the capacity, which will drain the finished product.




Designed hive has three frames Flow between four conventional framework. Em>

The idea was born on the north coast of New South Wales as a result of a plurality of biting through the protective equipment and annoyance from tens crushed bees. Father and son Kedar and Stewart Anderson developed this project for over a decade. The result was a plastic (no Bisphenol A) frame Flow, which consists of a partially-formed cells.

Bees wax finish cell, lay the product and seal it. Frame Flow opens in the middle. Honey dripping from the two rows of cells without the need to disturb the bottom bee colony dymarёm. Then again closed cell to bees could print an empty cell and continue to collect the product - bees almost immediately notice that the cells are empty. Bees wax re-use some of that can improve the performance and delivery of honey. Plexiglas small window allows you to see when honey is sealed and ready for collection.

The authors called his invention the most significant innovation in beekeeping since 1852, hinting that Flow is on a par with the Langstroth hive. It is easy to see that the new product not only saves time and makes the process painless for the bees, but also puts honey in getting beyond a simple process, available to not willing to buy expensive hardware enthusiasts. Bees often become aggressive when disassembling their hive. Promises that with Flow neighbors beekeeper will not notice the collection of honey.

For Baker Several options are available: You can get a ready-Flow Box, or multiple frames Flow for inclusion in own design standard hive. Prices start at $ 230 mark, they can be found at странице Project . 600 Baker dolllarov get set to collect fully finished hive, for which only need to find the bees.



Australians claim based on several years of observation, that the bees do not have any special preference Flow cell and filled with the same frequency as the conventional cell frame. Also stated that each frame brings up to 3 kg of honey, and the frequency of possible fees vary depending on the strength of the family and can range from a week in peak season up to a month. Honey need from twenty minutes to two hours to drain. Also, it's recommended to wear protective clothing. Of course, do not forget to leave some honey for wintering bees.

Краудфандинговая Campaign . To its end remains 40 days, but it is clear that the final amount of funding will be a lot more of the requested 70 thousand. Dollars.
