Yeah was aware of that, apparantly the quality is a bit 'questionable' especially the plastic bits.

As far as registering bee hives goes if you have a sheep a horse you have to have a PIC number. First it was free supposed to be about being able to trace animal disease but then there was a fee which has now gone up. So the cynic in me says its just one more money grab from the government. Had a funny thing happen when the minister for primary production was rabbiting on about it not being about money but about disease and used the example of fruit fly eradication programs got pulled up on that because fruit orchards don't have to have a PIC number

Oh wow, its good to hear positive feedback about these. When I initially saw it I was super excited but more recently I can across the negative comments as well.

I think I'd be inclined to have a fair combination - 1-2 native bee hives, a few traditional hives and a flow hive or maybe 2. ... In an ideal world anyway :D and loads of edible flowers to sustain the hives heh

Copycats were bound to happen but most people will stick with the original flow hive because as we know very few Chinese knock offs work as good as the real product.

Flow hive PR just needs to run a simple "buy authentic" campaign stating their product is the only one you can trust for reliability, durability, and made from food safe materials... marketing 123 :)
