The hive box a beekeeper chooses is not just a container — it shapes how bees build comb, how much honey can realistically be taken, how often the colony must be opened, and how swarms are managed. This scene places all four major hive designs side by side so their mechanical differences are visible at once, not just described in a table.
The Flow Hive's split-comb mechanism, patented in 2015, doesn't produce more honey than a Langstroth box of the same size — it changes only how that honey is extracted, trading the labour of uncapping and spinning frames for a slower drip and a premium price tag.
Four beehive designs stand side by side in one 3D scene so their frames, comb, and harvest mechanics can be compared directly instead of only in a spec table.
Each hive's structural logic — removable vertical frames, bottom-added Warré boxes, hanging top-bar comb, and the Flow Hive's internal drain channels — and how "harvest" means something different for each.
Pick a hive design to fly the camera to it, drag the comb fill slider to see honey stores build up, toggle cutaway to peek inside, and hit Harvest honey to watch each hive's extraction method play out.
The Flow Hive doesn't produce more honey per box than a Langstroth — it just lets that same honey drain out through a tap instead of being uncapped and spun, at a much higher upfront cost.
