"OctoFlowTree". Ten layers of Octagonal frames most accuratley recreates the natural shape of a hollow tree which the native bees thrive in. The bees will build their colony up through the hollow area. There's a tube that runs the full height of the tree hollow which the bees fill with honey pots. For easy honey collection you open the top lid and run a spear down the honey tube pearcing the honey pots, then simply turn the tap and the native bee honey flows out. # Edit .. yeap ..
