We were part of the original Indiegogo campaign which was the biggest Indiegogo start-up ever at the timeThey raised 17,380% of their goal (over $23 MILLION!). Despite that HUGE demand they delivered their product within a reasonable amount of time. We just assembled our hive box and it fit together reasonably well. The instructions included are adequate (if you have some little bit of experience with assembling things and you'll be fine). Our's was missing the queen excluder (you ship approximately 38,300+ kits and see if they all get 100% of the parts in them). I e-mailed Flow and I had a queen excluder in about 3 days! We get our bees this Saturday (April 29, 2017) so I'll update this later.
Just to be clear though... Bee keeping is a hobby. If you buy bees and pour them in your hive and come back in 3 months expecting there to be honey you will most likely come back to an empty hive and your bees will have died. Do your research and learn what is involved. It's not rocket science but it's not a honey vending machine either.
This was a much nicer design than I had first thought. Triple thumbs up
As described.
Looks good, I'll let you know if it really is next year after I use it

Description
The western red cedar hive looks great. My communication with Flow has been helpful, with them showing where their beginner resources are to help me get ready to start my beekeeping journey.
Was very easy to put together nice set up will see how it works come this spring. Only 4 stars because I have not used it yet.
