Introduction: The growing trend of backyard beekeeping and the benefits of a Flow Hive

Beekeeping, once considered a niche hobby, has gained immense popularity in recent years. More and more people are turning to backyard beekeeping as a way to not only support the declining bee population but also to harvest their own honey.

One of the newest innovations in beekeeping is the Flow Hive, which allows individuals to easily extract honey from their hives without disturbing the bees or having to wear protective gear. This revolutionary design has caught the attention of both experienced beekeepers and beginners looking to start their own hive.

The Growing Trend of Backyard Beekeeping:

Backyard beekeeping has become a growing trend for many reasons. Firstly, it provides an opportunity for individuals to connect with nature and learn about these amazing creatures. Keeping bees can also have positive effects on mental health by reducing stress and promoting mindfulness.

Secondly, backyard beekeeping plays a crucial role in supporting the declining global bee population. Bees play a vital role in pollination, which is essential for the growth of plants and crops. With increasing reports of colony collapse disorder and other threats to bees’ survival, backyard beekeeping has become an important step towards saving these pollinators.

One of the main reasons for its popularity is the desire among people to produce their own food. With concerns about food safety and sustainability rising, more individuals are turning towards homegrown options like honey production through backyard beekeeping.

Benefits of a Flow Hive:

While traditional methods of harvesting honey can be time-consuming, messy and require specialised equipment, the Flow Hive simplifies the process. The Flow Hive is a beehive with specially designed frames that allow honey to flow out of the hive without having to open it up and disturb the bees.

This method of honey extraction not only makes it easier for beginners to get started with beekeeping but also reduces the stress on the bees as they are not disturbed during harvesting. This results in a more peaceful experience for the beekeeper and less stress for their bees.

Additionally, the Flow Hive reduces the need for protective gear, making it a safer option for those who may have allergies or sensitivities towards bee stings. It also allows individuals with limited space, such as urban dwellers, to keep bees without having to worry about their neighbours being affected by aggressive bees.

Backyard beekeeping has become more than just a hobby; it is now seen as a crucial step towards preserving our environment and promoting sustainable food production. The innovative design of the Flow Hive has made this hobby accessible and appealing to a wider range of people, making it an important tool in supporting the bee population and our food system. With its ease of use and numerous benefits, it’s no wonder that backyard beekeeping and the Flow Hive have become such a popular trend .

What is a Nuc of bees? Understanding the importance and differences between packaged bees and Nucs

A Nuc, or nucleus colony, is a smaller version of a regular bee hive and is made up of a queen, worker bees, drones, and brood (baby bees). It is essentially a starter beehive that contains all the necessary components to establish a new colony.

One of the main reasons why Nucs are preferred by beekeepers is because they already come with an established queen who has been accepted by the other bees in the colony. This reduces the risk of introducing a new queen who may not be well-received by the workers.

Additionally, Nucs are usually sold with frames containing brood (baby bees) and honey stores which means that the colony is already self-sufficient and can grow quickly into a strong and healthy hive. This makes it easier for beginner beekeepers as they do not have to worry about feeding or managing their bees' growth in the initial stages.

However, it's important to note that there are some key differences between packaged bees and Nucs. Packaged bees refer to loose adult worker bees which are typically shipped in packages with sugar syrup or pollen substitute. These will need to be introduced gradually into a hive using various methods like "shaking" them onto frames or using an external box called an "insertion cage". In contrast, Nucs come with established comb containing brood and honey which allow for smoother integration into their new hive.

Another significant difference between packaged bees and nucs is cost. While purchasing packaged bees may seem more affordable at first, the cost of establishing a colony and building it up to a healthy hive can quickly add up. Nucs, on the other hand, may be a bit more expensive initially but can save beekeepers valuable time and resources in the long run.

In summary, while both packaged bees and Nucs can be used to establish new colonies, Nucs offer many advantages in terms of convenience and time savings for beekeepers. However, choosing between the two ultimately depends on personal preference and the specific needs of each beekeeper.

The benefits of purchasing a Nuc from premium beekeepers

When it comes to starting a new beehive, there are many important factors to consider. One of the most crucial decisions is where you will obtain your bees from.

Our expert guidance for successful placement and management of your new Nuc bees in your Flow Hive

Congratulations on your decision to start beekeeping with the innovative Flow Hive This modern take on traditional beehives simplifies the process of harvesting honey, making it a perfect choice for beginners. However, successfully managing and maintaining a colony of bees in your Flow Hive requires proper placement and management techniques.

At Two Busy Bees Honey, we not only offer premium Nuc bees but also provide expert guidance to ensure that your journey from being a beginner to a pro beekeeper is smooth and successful. 

Placement is key when it comes to achieving the best results with your new Nuc bees. The location of your hive can greatly affect its productivity and the health of the colony. Our team recommends choosing a spot that receives plenty of sunlight, preferably facing east or southeast. Bees are creatures of habit and prefer consistent temperatures, so try to place the hive where it will not be exposed to strong winds or shady areas that could cause temperature fluctuations.

Additionally, consider accessibility for yourself as well - choose a location that allows easy access for hive inspection and maintenance.

It's also important to make sure that there is an available water source nearby for your bees as they need water regularly for various functions within the hive. It can be as simple as setting up a birdbath or shallow dish filled with water near the hive.

Once you have chosen an ideal location, our expert guidance for installing your Nuc bees is as follows:

1. In the morning, when the bees are least active, remove the front and side panel of your Flow Hive and gently place the 5-frame Nucleus (Nuc) box inside.

2. Remove the cover from the Nuc box and inspect for any damage or issues.

3. To help the bees feel at home, spray a light mist of sugar water on top of the frames before placing them into your hive.

4. Carefully shake or brush any remaining bees into the hive, keeping an eye out for the queen.

5. Replace the front and side panels, making sure they fit snugly to keep any intruders out.

6. Leave the hive untouched for a four weeks to allow time for the bees to settle in and get used to their new surroundings.

After successfully installing your Nuc bees in your Flow Hive, regular management techniques include checking for signs of disease or pests, ensuring that there is enough space in the hive for honey production, and conducting regular inspections to monitor colony health.

The health benefits of local honey produced from our Nucs compared to store-bought honey

Local honey has been touted as a superfood for its numerous health benefits. And when it comes to local honey, nothing beats the high-quality, pure and fresh honey produced from our Nucs compared to store-bought honey.

Firstly, let's understand what makes local honey different from store-bought ones. Local honey is harvested directly from beehives that are located in close proximity to where it is sold. This means that the nectar and pollen collected by the bees come from the same local flowers and plants that you are exposed to every day.

On the other hand, store-bought honey usually goes through a pasteurization process which involves heating up the honey to high temperatures in order to kill off any potential bacteria or crystallization. While this may ensure a longer shelf life for the product, it also destroys many of the beneficial enzymes and antioxidants present in raw honey.

Here are some of the specific health benefits of choosing our local honey produced from our Nucs over store-bought options:

1. Boosts Immunity: Our Nuc bees collect nectar and pollen from a variety of native flowers and plants which contain natural immune-boosting properties. By consuming local honey regularly, you'll be exposing your body to small amounts of these allergens which can eventually help build immunity against them.

2. Relieves Allergies: One of the most well-known health benefits of local honey is its ability to reduce seasonal allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. This is because the small amounts of pollen present in local honey can act as a natural immunotherapy and help your body build defenses against allergens.

3. Contains Antioxidants: Raw honey, especially from local sources, is packed with antioxidants which can help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants not only boost immunity but also have anti-inflammatory properties that can potentially lower your risk of chronic diseases.

4. Natural Energy Booster: Honey is a rich source of natural sugars like glucose and fructose which provide an instant energy boost without the crash later on. Combining this with the various vitamins and minerals present in local honey makes it a perfect all-natural pre-workout fuel.

5. Good for Digestion: Local honey contains high levels of enzymes that aid in digestion and promote a healthy gut microbiome. Consuming raw honey on a regular basis can help treat digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and bloating.

6. Promotes Restful Sleep: Honey has been used for centuries as a natural sleep aid due to its ability to increase levels of melatonin in the body, which helps regulate our sleep cycles. Consuming a teaspoon or two of Two Busy Bees Honey local honey before bed may help you get better quality
