Did you test this hive in the United States? Did any test hives find that the bees refused to build on the plastic frames? When you turn the crank and the foundation splits how does this not also split the entire cell, including the wax caps? Have you found that you can effectively keep up with harvesting the honey in a flowhive with only one super, or do you have to still build up sometimes, adding supers on top? Have you had any issues with bees filling the crank area or other openings with propolis inhibiting the moving parts?
