Basic Requirements:
* Water: Water is essential for seed germination and the growth of the seedling. It softens the seed coat, allows nutrients to move around, and provides hydration for the plant.
* Warmth: Most seeds need a certain temperature range to germinate. This range varies depending on the type of seed.
* Oxygen: Seeds need oxygen to breathe and fuel their growth.
* Light: Some seeds need light to germinate, while others prefer darkness.
Additional Factors:
* Nutrients: Seeds contain a small amount of nutrients, but they need more to grow into a healthy plant. These nutrients come from the soil.
* Proper Soil: The soil needs to be loose and well-drained to allow water and oxygen to reach the roots.
* Protection: Seeds need protection from pests and diseases that can damage them or prevent them from growing.

On their website, the Flow Hive had been advertised by their inventors to provide honey “on tap” in a way that was “less stressful for the bees” than traditional methods. Designed with parts that could be incorporated into a conventional stacked Langstroth hive, it includes plastic frames that – with the insertion of a giant-sized Allen wrench – can be shifted to extract honey through special tubing. For a while last February, the Flow Hive enjoyed u
