Honey on Tap from Flow Hive
On Facebook / Instagram / Twitter
Ever since people first learned the consequences of Colony Collapse Disorder, a number of researchers have been attempting to find new ways to extract honey from bee hives without disturbing the bees. If you stop to
think about it, the process of honey extraction can be very traumatic
for the bee colonies, but what else can be done to collect the honey?
The process of harvesting honey has not evolved much over the years…
until now.One group of honey enthusiasts has made incredible headway by
introducing a new honey extracting invention called Flow Hive. The
soon-to-be-released product is described as “… artificial honeycomb for
use in a beehive, which enables honey to be removed from the honeycomb
without removing the honeycomb from the hive.” The process has been
patented by Flow™, and while
there are a lot of unanswered questions at this time, the contraption
has captured the imagination of the beekeeper industry and honey bee
enthusiasts.Through a Kickstarter campaign (soon to be launched), the inventors hope to inspire a new generation of beekeepers who will find that
harvesting honey is easier, more gratifying, good for the planet, and
not as harmful to the bees.While this is not a regional company, the effects from such an
invention could help to impact every corner of the planet.You can conduct a search on Kickstarter once the campaign goes live on February 23.Via: http://www.gizmag.com/flow-frame-honey-tap-beehive/36117/
