Long, Generous Nectar Flow
Texas ranks among the top states for colony numbers. A wide range of habitats and a long foraging season keep your Flow Frames busy from early spring well into fall.
Engineered for Texas Heat
Western red cedar is naturally insulating and weather-resistant. In summer, give your hive afternoon shade and a nearby water source — and harvest in the cooler morning hours for the smoothest flow.
Easier Winters Than Up North
Mild winters across much of Texas make overwintering far simpler than in the Northeast or Midwest. Your colony stays active longer with less cold-weather management.
