Honey-Tapped Hives

The New Beehive Design Allows Beekeepers to Extract Honey Without Opening Hives

— February 20, 2015 — Unique
This revamped beehive design produces honey on tap. Created by Australian beekeepers Stuart and Cedar Anderson, the Flow Hive allows you to gather honey without having to open the hive. This means the bees inside the honeycomb are left undisturbed.

The key is a honeycomb frame containing partially formed honeycomb cells, which encourages bees to use their own wax to complete to comb and fill it with honey. The new beehive design has a tap-like tool that splits cells vertically inside the comb, which enables honey "to flow down to a sealed trough at the base of the frame and out of the hive" according to the Flow Hive site.

The hive will be available following a Kickstarter campaign set to launch on February 23rd.
Trend Themes
1. Revamped Beehive Design - A new beehive design with a tap-like tool for extracting honey without disturbing the bees.
2. Honey Extraction Innovation - Innovative honeycomb frame design that allows honey to flow down to a sealed trough for easy extraction.
3. Undisturbed Beekeeping - A hive design that allows beekeepers to gather honey without disturbing the bees inside the honeycomb.
Industry Implications
1. Beekeeping - Beekeepers can leverage the revamped beehive design to streamline honey extraction and minimize disruption to bees.
2. Agriculture - The honey extraction innovation can revolutionize the agriculture industry, making honey production more efficient and bee-friendly.
3. Sustainable Food Production - The undisturbed beekeeping trend aligns with the goals of sustainable food production, promoting the well-being of honeybees while maintaining honey supply.
