Flow frames put honey on tap directly from the beehive

A new invention by two Australian beekeepers is claimed to be able to siphon honey straight from a beehive without opening the lid or disturbing the bees inside. When a tap attached to a specifically developed honeycomb “Flow” frame within the hive is opened, the bee-formed cells are split slightly open inside the comb, thereby allowing channels to form through which the honey flows down to a sealed trough and out of the hive straight into collecting jars. All the while, the bees are virtually undisturbed on the surface of the comb.

This is a brilliant bit of design, I wish them all the success that will come their way.

The image is misleading.

The bees would simply take all that honey back.
