Purchased a Flow Hive 2 Brood Box & Super separately, but realized that you'd benefit from also having the Flow Hive 2+ Base?
This upgrade kit is just what you need.
What's included?
Western Red Cedar timber base, multipurpose pest management tray, metal screen, rear vented cover, spirit levels to create the optimal slope for harvesting, landing board, an Integrated Adjustable Hive Stand, and Flow Ant Guards™.
*This accessory is best used with the Flow Hive 2 Brood Box, however, can be used with any Flow Hive or Brood Box model – please be aware that there may be some discrepancies in the width of the box to the base.
Confused about what size to get? Don't worry we get it! Our Flow Frames are slightly wider than traditional wooden brood frames, so for an 8 frame Langstroth hive, 6 Flow Frames are used to completely fill the super.
The 6 frame base is compatible with:
The 7 frame base is compatible with:
The stand works a treat. When we first got our bees the cane toads thought it was great picking. We don’t have any problems with toads and the oil cups on the legs of the stand keep the ants out or the hive also.
The Flow Hive 2+ bases are the best in the market. I use them with both my FH2+ and Langstroth hives, as they are very well made, and I really like the ant traps and the ventilated bottom tray system. Very well thought out and worth every penny.
The workmanship was top level. Delivery was quick. Makes the hive look that much better.
We have 2 Flow Hives now and we love the base to make the hive a comfortable height to work at, and it keeps nasties at bay.
I love the flow hive setup. It’s not just the convenience of being able to harvest honey, but the overall thoughtfulness of the whole product. The base and stand add an extra level of protection in the fight against small hive beetle, wax moth, ants and now varroa.
