To become commercially viable for large scale honey production, the Flow

I do agree with him in the above statement but there is one aspect that

Maybe there will be the need to reboot the odd hive every now and then, who
knows.


In the meantime, I have refused to sell nucs to newbies who wanted to
kick things off with a flow hive setup.  Once people get the hang of things
after
a few years perhaps they might then venture out and there's nothing wrong
with that.
