That's true Richard, no worries though, TapComb has melted away. As for the other comment, Flow-Frames are nothing like the patent that many people bring up. Functioned completely different with the center core dropping down and all frames constructed at an angle (with aluminum center parts) going into a central trough and draining through a single "V" concept, the entire hive was configured that way and it didn't work. I have a copy of that patent with technical drawings, not close at all. TapComb took a direct copy of an early iteration of the Flow-Frames, Flow abandoned the design as it sheared the bees in half, which led to their current safer iteration which does work. I bought the TapComb hive in order to evaluate it and they stopped answering emails and the phone number was disconnected. It's a terrible and non-functional concept.
@@1FishinAddict no way. is NOT even close from the old metal ones. I know them . THEY ARE "DIFFERENTE ANIMALS", Totally different. Remington and winchester are true copies... "
What I don't understand is when bee's cap the frame and you empty it, won't bee's not know you robbed their honey? I mean wouldn't it be quite a long time before the bees uncapped their own frame to discover its empty? I'm just thinking out loud that if I were to harvest my honey out of these frames how long would it take before the bees realize that they're empty
the caps will become like drumskins and the bees can feel that it's empty under there. So the answer is almost emidiately. Like they might start picking off the cappings before you finish draining it 100%
another copy of the flow hive... the example of who do not have anything more to do then look into other work and try to get profit from... where is your idea ? what is been your improvement here ? I do not like the price done by the Australian guy but copy/paste is quiet ridiculous...
