      You don’t seem to be getting any replies.  My understanding is that the ‘flow’ bit only applies to the super(s), so I anticipate they would not be on the hive and it would not make any difference.  But I’ve never seen one, or researched them in any detail

      Hi, it’ll most likely be Langstroth frames if purchased as a starter kit from Flowhive, but no other difference for treatment purposes
