Dear All,
    I came across an interesting development on Facebook yesterday; a flow 
hive.
    A frame is provided as usual on which the bees add wax cells and then 
fill them with honey but the frame is constructed so that when the cells are 
filled with honey, a handle is twisted which opens the ends of the 
honey-filled cells of the assembly to a drain tube and the honey flows out 
without disturbing the bees. Whether these same cells can be filled and 
emptied a second time, or filled for a wintering supply, was not clear.
    It did not look like a hoax. Cedar Anderson if the inventor's name and 
he lives in Australia.
