Australian backyard beekeepers Cedar Anderson and his father Stuart Anderson have invented a revolutionary beehive innovation that allows honey to be harvested without opening the hive.
It has become crowd funding site Indiegogo’s most successful project. Initially the Andersons were looking for $75,000 to develop the invention’s commercial potential. Instead their company, Flow Hive, raised $12.2 million.
They explain how their new system works in the video below.
