What astonishes me when I watch the video (http://youtu.be/0_pj4cz2VJM)
is that there is not a single bee trying to robb the jars. Either my
bees are extremely rowdy (it would take them only a minute to find the
bonanza) or the bees in the video are all dead...

And then I look at the patent drawings and see a lot of movable parts.
Movable parts and propolis, does that survive the first year?

Then I look at the web site (http://www.honeyflow.com/) and it says at
in the last entry:
"The hive was packed with bees and it was near impossible to get the
honey out without squashing lots of them."
I may myself squash one or two bees when I work my hives, but not lots
of them. I think it is important to learn how to keep bees before using
such device. And you learn by opening your hives often. I agree with
PLB's last post.

And then there is the fund raising aspect. Nothing wrong with it if the
investors are fully informed. But are they? My gut reaction says: no.
And that may be where "all the aggression toward the concept" comes from.
