Podcasts about Flow Hive

Beekeeping has evolved significantly over the years, and few innovations have sparked as much conversation as the Flow Hive. In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome back Flow Hive co-founder, Cedar Anderson, who shares exciting updates on their latest innovation—the Superlifter. Designed to make hive inspections easier and more accessible for beekeepers of all experience levels, the Superlifter allows for effortless lifting of heavy honey supers, reducing strain on beekeepers' backs and improving hive management. Cedar shares the journey behind this invention, including years of prototyping and refining the design. With a simple, easy-to-use system, the Superlifter works with any Langstroth hive—making it a game-changer for beekeepers who struggle with heavy lifting. Jeff and Becky discuss how this tool could revolutionize hive inspections, especially for beekeepers with physical limitations. Beyond product development, Cedar dives into Flow Hive's commitment to education and sustainability, including the Billions of Blossoms initiative, which has already resulted in the planting of over 1.5 million trees to restore pollinator habitats. The team at Flow Hive continues to expand its educational offerings through TheBeekeeper.org, helping both new and experienced beekeepers improve their skills. Join us for this insightful conversation about the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and making beekeeping more accessible to all.

Cedar Anderson together with his father Stuart, invented the Flow Hive an innovation that has changed the world of backyard bee keeping.

Cedar Anderson is the founder and inventor of Flow Hive, a revolutionary system that produces great honey and is easy on the bees and the beekeepers. This business path is anything but traditional, with an initial humble kickstarter campaign quickly becoming the most successful crowdfunding campaign ever launched outside the US, eventually raising over $16 million. This is a true story of business as a force for good as Cedar set out to change the business paradigm and is doing just that. -- Ready to embed purpose and profit into your own business?

Cedar Anderson the Co-Inventor, CEO & Co-Founder of Flow Hive and the Flow Hive technology that has been hailed as the biggest innovation in beekeeping since 1852 joins Enterprise Radio. The post Flow Hive, the biggest innovation in beekeeping since 1852 appeared first on Enterprise Podcast Network - EPN.

Meet Stuart and Cedar Anderson, the father-son duo who are the co-founders of Flow Hive, a revolutionary product that has reshaped the honey-extraction process and offers critical support to bees. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seven years ago, father and son set out to redesign the way honey is harvested from bee hives. There must be a way, they reasoned, to get the honey from the comb without disturbing the bees and then bottling the honey directly from the hive. They placed their idea on Indiegogo and early orders exceeded all expectations when they topped over $12.5 million US dollars! Today, after over 50 iterations of the product, Flow Hive has established itself as a solid name in honey production for the small scale beekeeper. In this episode, we talk with Cedar Anderson, who alongside his father, invented the concept of the Flow frame, super and hive. We talked with Cedar's father and co-inventor in the spring of 2021. Today, Cedar talks about the origins of the Flow Hive, the changes they've made and how as a company, they are now giving back to the planet through their multiple pollinator programs and research support. One program they are working to expand is Billions of Blossoms. It's a project dedicated to planting trees that bees can use. Not just honey bees, but all kinds of bees. So far this year they have planted a half million trees and another half million are planned across the United State, Australia and other countries For the Flow Hive itself, they've expanded community support by ramping up their instructions, added to their YouTube sits and now have a regular call in program so you can talk to the folks who actually make and use these hives, in person, and ask them the questions you have with your equipment.  Listen to our talk with Cedar and hear for yourself all the projects they've developed to make the world a better place, one bee at a time. You might even consider a Flow Hive!  We hope you enjoy the episode. Leave comments and questions in the Comments Section of the episode's website. Thank you for listening!

(Original Air Date: Aug 6, 2020) In this bonus episode, John learns a startling revelation about the infamous (and still not assembled) Flow Hive. The guys also discuss the appearance of late season swarms, and whether they are worth the effort or not.

Nearly 20 years ago, Cedar Anderson set out to design an easier way to get honey from his beehives. Together with his father, Stu, he invented the Flow Hive—a revolutionary hive that lets beekeepers get "honey on tap." With over $13 million in pre-orders, his crowdfunding campaign is was one of the most successful in history. The innovative hive has drawn both admission and criticism from the beekeeping community. In this episode, Cedar walks us through the highs and lows of his journey.Check out a GIF of how the Flow Hive works: https://bit.ly/3NV2U6aLearn more about the Flow Hive at: https://www.honeyflow.com/Subscribe to our Patreon to help us produce more episodes of the show: https://www.patreon.com/buddhabeeapiary

Get ready to learn the story of Flow Hive — and to fall in love with bees. Today we have the absolute pleasure to chat with Stuart Anderson and Mirabai Nicholson-McKellar of Flow Hive. Flow Hive is an Australian startup that has created a buzz in the beekeeping community and beyond, an incredible invention that has revolutionised beekeeping in this country and all around the world. Stuart along with his father Cedar dedicated years thinking how to crack the code of how they could extract honey from the hive without disturbing the bees. Mirabai with her filmmaking skills and passion for storytelling came on board and help them launch their Indiegogo campaign which became one of the most successful in history. The magic of this business lies in its brilliant combination of design and technology, its Indiegogo campaign broke records! We hope you enjoy this conversation as we explore the Flow Hive creation story and the magical mystical world of bees.

In today's episode I sit down with one of the most successful inventors in the world, Cedar Anderson. His product, the Flow Hive, is one of the most successful crowdfund campaigns, EVER. In this conversation we talk about the Importance of Awe, yes, A-W-E, this incredible emotion that connects us to the world around us We talk about the unbelievable life of bees (honestly it's like listening to a David Attenborough doco... you'll BEE fascinated) He shares how Bees are such a window to our world, because they connect us to our food and the natural world around us and they are the canary in the coal mine too! Because, as we talk about, there are so many issues facing bees, largely based on our industrial human processes such as the use of insecticides, the transportation of species all over the world (out of their native habitats), mass monocropping, and more. So bees are not only a window to Nature for us, but they are also a window to our destruction OF Nature We talk a lot about this. We talk the early days inventing the Flow Hive. We talk the crowdfund campaign which kickstarted the crowdfunding concept into the mainstream. You will hear straight away that this is NOT your everyday business leader… He's just different. He's calm and considered and at the same time eccentric and unusual and weird and you're just gonna love him.

In this episode, we talk to Stuart Anderson. He is a life-long beekeeper and the co-inventor of the revolutionary honey extraction system, the Flow Frame. Inspired by his son, who wondered if there was not a better way to get honey out of the beehive without disturbing the bees. This was the start of a ten-year journey together of designing and testing.   Since its launch in 2015, the Australian-madehttps://www.honeyflow.com/ ( Flow Hive) has inspired tens of thousands of new beekeepers around the world, with over 75,000 hives now flowing in 130 countries.   During this episode, we take a look at the importance of bees. What exactly the Flow Hive is, the importance of being educated when it comes to bees and how we can get started with our own hive or look out for our pollinator friends right where we are.   Links from the episodes: https://www.honeyflow.com.au/pages/which-flow-hive-is-right-for-me (Which Flow Hive is right for me?)

This week, we start our multi-part series on hive types other than the standard Langstroth.  We start with the Flow Hive. In this episode, we talk with Stewart Anderson, who, with his son Cedar imagined and then created the Flow Hive, certainly the most cosmic jump in the technology of honey harvesting developed since the first mechanical honey extractor conceived by Major Franz Elder von Hruschka in 1865. It started on a hot summer day 16 years ago when Cedar had spent a long day cranking his extractor harvesting his honey crop. Cranky bees, humid tropical weather and lots of work made Cedar ask his dad if there was some way to harvest honey without having to open a hive. So that evening they spent a couple of hours trying to figure out the equation that would change honey harvesting forever. They actually figured out that to make that happen they needed to make the honey flow vertically in the hive to be collected at the bottom, somehow. That simple discovery had to overcome opening ripe honey cells, dealing with the cappings, reclosing the cell, removing the now disrupted capping wax, and seeing if the bees would reuse the cells. Or even abscond. Their website photos show how they made that work and work well, with plastic frames inside the Langstroth deep hive body that could be offset with a crank on the outside of the box, offsetting the cells in the frame so the honey drained to a pipe below, to empty into honey bottles outside. Harvesting honey without opening the hive. But getting there took them a score of years, figuring out how to manufacture the frames needed, to make them fit, how to make it all fit, and how to market this. Their first intentions were to make this a tool for commercial beekeepers in their home country of Australia. But it turns out, it was the perfect tool for the hobby market, and, to their surprise, these customers wanted the whole hive, not just the deep super with all the gadgets inside. Life then got interesting for them. Listen as Stu talk with us about his and more!

PODCAST EPISODE 21: Cedar Anderson, Flow Hive co-inventor, Byron Bay, Australia While the recording of this episode might be a little crackly in parts, I feel it represents something of the character of my next guest. Inventor, entrepreneur, bee lover, family man, paraglider, Flow Hive co-creator – Cedar Anderson is a truly down-to-earth bloke with truly down-to-earth (yet highly ambitious) passions. The chat we had – recorded, on his end, from underneath his house – crackles in parts, like an earthy laugh, and seems indicative of Cedar's grass-roots approach. However, this analogy doesn't quite paint the picture of just how switched on and inspiring Cedar truly is. An ABC article by Vanessa Gorman perfectly summed up Cedar's evolution in its title: ‘From humble hippie to multi-millionaire businessman — the man who revolutionised the beehive'. Cedar and I first met when I went to visit him with Simon Mulvany (from Save the Bees) at his home in Broken Head, near Byron Bay, in the spectacular Northern Rivers area of New South Wales; however, I had heard of him long before that trip and was excited to meet him in person. What you take from meeting this lovely man is that he is dedicated to his family, he loves and appreciates nature, he is an inspiring businessperson, and that his connection to bees has allowed him to create a system for extracting honey that is both unique and effective. This third-generation beekeeper has been inspiring the beekeeping community in Australia and abroad with his new ideas and environmental ethos – check out his TEDxBrisbane Talk, ‘Why the World Needs Backyard Inventors' if you haven't already. So, what is this revolutionary invention Cedar co-invented, you might ask? The Flow Hive presents a new way of extracting honey from Langstroth-style European honeybee hives. While understanding that the most important aspect of any honey production process is respect for the animal and looking after a colony as best as humanly possible, a system like the Flow Hive changes the honey extraction process completely through “an artificial foundation made from BPA- and BPS-free food grade plastic, manufactured right here in Australia, on which the bees build their comb”. The bees fill the artificial cells with honey and cap them off. Then, a “Flow Key” is inserted to split the cells, and gravity helps the honey flow into the trough, through tubes and straight into your honey jars! With an incredible 48,000+ customers in over 139 countries, the Flow Hive is building even stronger connections between keepers and bees. Tune in to hear Cedar and I talk about the Flow Hive, inventing, family, eco-business and stumbling upon a 30-year-old bee box mid-podcast! https://www.honeyflow.com.au https://www.bensbees.com.au

Today’s guest is the inventor and co-founder of FLOW Hive, a beekeeping unit that has been created for all types of beekeepers. His efforts allow many enthusiasts to harvest honey efficiently and more joyfully. Meet Stuart Anderson.

As well as having a hand in the daily decision-making at Flow, Stu is the man on the mic, talking Flow Hive at numerous business and beekeeping conferences and other events, in Australia and abroad.Stu is still an avid beekeeper with a passion for the natural world and a family man with four kids and nine grandchildren. Stu alos plays mandolin in a bush band.WHAT IS A FLOW HIVE?An invention that has revolutionized the beekeeping industry – the Flow Hive contains Flow Frames, a world-first technology which allows the beekeeper to harvest honey straight from the hive without disturbing the bees.Regarded as the most significant advancement in beekeeping since 1852, the Flow Hive has removed the need for expensive processing equipment making the fascinating world of beekeeping much more accessible.Beekeeping has been in the Anderson family for three generations. A love for the bees and the natural world has always been an important part of the lives of the father-son inventing team behind the idea, Stuart and Cedar Anderson. It all started because Cedar felt bad about bees being crushed during the honey harvest. He was sick of being stung and having to spend a whole week harvesting the honey from his small, semi-commercial apiary.RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONEDFlow Hive WebsiteFlow Hive FacebookFlow Hive TwitterFlow Hive InstagramFlow Hive YouTubeEmail us!

Techstination interview: Engineering better bee keeping & honey harvesting: Flow Hive CEO Cedar Anderson

KEEPING BEES Part 2 Last week part 1 of this two-part series about bee-keeping went to air, so I'll revise a little of that in the interview. If you are considering keeping bees, don't just get a bee hive and hope for the best. Don't be like some people that have put Flow Hives in the backyard and not put any bees in and wondered why they don't get any honey. Would you be game enough to collect a wild swarm of bees?   Or others that have put just one queen bee in a Flow Hive [without a colony]." Be informed and do the right thing. Let's find out about things you need to know about keeping bees in part 2 of this 2 part segment. I'm talking with John Scot from www.eezybeez.com.au Tip: using a smoker calms the bees quite a bit because it gives the bees a cue that something is going to happen. You will also need to replace you queen bee after 3-4 years because she will have become less productive and your beehive colony will go into decline in as little as 6 - 8 months. That is because the queen bee is unable to lay sufficient worker bee eggs. Buying a queen bee can be done online and the best time to buy in Australia is from October until the end of autumn. For a current list of queen bee producers refer to the Australasian Beekeeper (www.theabk.com.au), or the Australian Honey Bee News.   photo Ulrike Leone from Pixabay Just remember, one of the most important things you need to do if you want to keep bees is to register with your state's DPI. If there's an outbreak of disease in the bee population that could threaten Australia's crops and environment, the department needs to keep beekeepers informed.

It's a very reusable episode 480 of The (award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing Show thanks to American Express and digital marketing agency Yellow.   A little bit more about KeepCup creator Abigail Forsyth … When Abigail Forsyth and her brother Jamie started a cafe business in Melbourne in 1998, disposable coffee cups were starting to become an environmental problem.   Now, as you're about to hear, they're a major problem.   And that's where KeepCups step in. KeepCups are those reusable coffee cups you see people bring in to your local cafe. So instead of using a paper coffee cup that's lined with plastic and thrown away the minute you've got your caffeine fix, KeepCups get used over and over.   They come in all shapes and sizes, colours and can even be personalised with your company branding.   Abigail joined me from her Fitzroy headquarters where we talked about: Why she chose to close the cafes and pursue the KeepCup idea How she used leading baristas as influencers before social influencers was even a thing How she handles the proliferation of copycats flooding the market How she's created an environmentally responsible supply chain And plenty more   “Our vision at KeepCup is a disposable free world." - Abigail Forsyth, KeepCup   Here's what caught my attention from my chat with KeepCup creator Abigail Forsyth It's probably time for us all to take a look at all aspects of our businesses and make changes that will benefit the environment - ideas could include getting all staff a branded KeepCup, going paperless, carpooling to meetings. I love the personalisation option KeepCup offers. Personalisation of particular products is becoming more and more common as technology makes it easier and easier. Remember that interview with Lana Hopkins from Mon Purse? I loved how Abigail used baristas to get the word out. If you'd like to learn more about social influencers then take a listen to the interview I did with Jules Lund who's started an influencer agency called Tribe.   “In today's conversation about single-use plastics and going plastic-free, too often plastics are all tarred with the same brush. It's not plastic that's the problem, it's how we use it.” - Abigail Forsyth, KeepCup     Abigail Forsyth Interview Transcription Tim  Abigail welcome to the small business big marketing show.    Abigail  Thank you very much.    Tim  It is awesome to have you here. And I'm really looking forward to this conversation. To kick things off. Can you quantify the problem that KeepCup is helping solve?

RadioHub founder and fellow podcaster Cooper Silk recently attended Podcast Movement, the world's biggest podcasting conference … and he's here to share what best-practice podcasting looks like in 2020 and beyond.   A little bit more about fellow podcaster and RadioHub founder Cooper Silk … I first met this week's guest over a couple of beers when I was hosting the Australian Podcast Awards last year. And we've hit it off ever since. Cooper Silk is the founder and owner of RadioHub … a high-end, professional podcasting studio set-up in Sydney. He's also the host of Roosters Radio, which for all you Rugby League fans, is a weekly podcast he puts together for his favourite team. What's even more interesting is he's just back from Podcast Movement in Orlando Florida … the world's biggest podcast conference. I joined Cooper at RadioHub's Sydney studio where we talked about: His top learnings in regards to pre and post production of a podcast New tips, tricks & techniques to help you make a world-class podcast Why we're lagging behind in podcast production in Australia How the big guys are producing and marketing their shows Why we need to up our approach to podcasting Plus plenty more podcasting insights.   “The big media companies are all in - as an independent producer you are competing against big teams of people with big budgets and star pulling power. You need to lift your game!” - Cooper Silk, RadioHub   Here's what caught my attention from my chat with RadioHub's Cooper Silk: Us independent podcasters must avoid becoming complacent now that all the big media companies are playing in this podcasting space. There's plenty more we could be doing post-production to get each episode out there. If you're a business owner thinking of starting a podcast but concerned that it's too late, that there's already enough out there, then get over it! Your challenge is simply a creative one in ensuring yours is the best!   “Leverage your audience to grow your show. Engage with your fans, respond to all their messages.

Cedar Anderson would rather be walking naked through the Byron Bay hills than running the multi-million dollar empire he created with his old man. Fortunately he loves the fact that they've changed the beekeeping industry for good, thanks to one of the world's most successful crowd-funding campaigns ever. It's a buzzingly good episode 478 of The (award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing Show.   A little bit more about crowdfunding expert and Flow Hive creator Cedar Anderson… Cedar Anderson grew up in an intentional AKA hippy community in the Byron Bay hills, where he spent his time coming up with crazy inventions. Then in his early adult years, he worked as a paragliding instructor capturing aerial footage for Greenpeace. He's also a third-generation beekeeper and it was during a particularly nasty honey harvest that he decided there had to be a better way. So for the next 10 years, he and his Dad set about inventing a better beehive. They did and it's called Flow Hive. Now I don't know much about beekeeping, but this thing is amazing. It's a box that looks like a doll house which you can put anywhere, it has windows to see your bees at work, and when you want some honey, you literally turn on a tap and out it comes! And thanks to a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo that raised $15 million (they only wanted $70,000!),  Cedar is now heads an Australian manufacturing success story, having already shipped over 65,000 orders all over the world.  I was lucky enough to spend a few hours with Cedar at his Byron Bay HQ - we actually did this interview in his beekeeping suit wardrobe - where he shared: How growing up in an intentional community influenced him to become an inventor Where the idea for Flow Hive came from and why it took 10-years How he managed to create one of the world's biggest crowd-funding campaigns that crashed the Indiegogo site multiple times! And how he reconciles being a hippy with now being a multi-millionaire I started off by asking Cedar a very probing question ... “How does he likes to eat his honey?”   “It's amazing to work with someone whose brain is wired in the same way. Like … he can make just one hand movement and I already know what he's talking about.” -Cedar Anderson, Flow Hive   Here's what caught my attention from my chat with Flow Hive's Cedar Anderson: It was a great reminder that the very best marketing you can do is to create a great product or service. I love Cedar's generosity of spirit. He invited me in to his world, introduced me to all his team who I ended up having lunch with, set-up a recording studio in his beekeeping suit wardrobe and even made time for a Facebook Live video. I love how he works to the beat of his own drum.   Cedar Anderson Interview Transcription Tim Cedar. Welcome to the small business big marketing show. Cedar Thank you for having me. Tim I'm very excited about this I got to start with one of the most probing questions that I've ever come up with and that is how do you like to eat your honey?

Harvesting honey can really make you as “busy as a bee”, not only is it messy but you’re also disturbing the bees.

The co-inventor of the Flow Hive and founder of Beeinventive describes the journey to get 'honey on tap', plus his super effective use of social media and the new deluxe model, the Flow Hive 2. Cedar explains how the original Flow Hive developed over a 10 year period, culminating in a record-setting Indigogo crowd-funding campaign in 2015. Now with a string of awards to his company's name and over a billion views of its web content, he says "the reason we keep going is because we want to have a positive impact in the world. So business for a positive purpose is cred to our company".

This week we are talking about New Rules, Counterfeit, when Beeing copied is not necessarily the Best form of Flattery, the Sum of Sugar and Honey, and Northland Numbers Stack up for Whanau.  This is Episode One Hundred and Nine of our beekeeping podcast.

  Flow Hive™ has established itself as a true Australian innovator, developing the most significant advance in beekeeping in over 150 years and running one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns to date. Going from nothing to US$12.2 million in pre-orders in just a few weeks is a unique scenario, and one which inspired inventive solutions from Stuart and his son Cedar who experimented for over 10 years to develop the product.   The pair, who knew barely anything about mass production or exporting, found themselves having to deal with the complexity of the US state by state Nexus system, VAT, duties and many pitfalls of international commerce.   With manufacturing operations now in Oregon, Portland and Brisbane, Australia and deliveries on their way to more than 140 countries in every corner of the globe, Stuarts story of innovation in design and business, while not without its challenges, will inspire all.

Danny Lobell and comedian and improviser Jon Gabrus (Guy Code, UCB) discuss Flow Hive, which lets you harvest honey from your bees at home. They also talk about dumb money mistakes and how Jon would go out to dinner with friends and charge up his credit card. The news on the street is that the Texas milk business is doing "dairy" badly!
