Every now and then we come across innovation news that can make one smile. Bee keeping is an innovation that is almost as old as fire. Archaeological digs have unearthed evidence of bee keeping that goes back to approximately 1,000 BC ... ~3,000 years ago.
As old as this industry is, innovation has arrived to bee keeping ... and it is not necessarily due to a hi-tech breakthrough as much as it was a re-engineering design that overcame ages old challenges the industry had workarounds for (i.e.: suiting up to avoid being stung, smoking out bees to access hives, splitting open hives to access honey).
In this ~5 minute video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbMV9qYIXqM), discover what a bee keeping father and son from Australia devised and refined to directly access and flow honey from a bee hive.
The father-son team are now utilizing crowdfunding to secure necessary financial backing to now scale their business. If you are interested in learning more, visit them at their web page http://www.honeyflow.com and on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/flowhive
