Patent design is of two "channeled" pieces of combs. A torque screw is supposed to be turned that makes inside of two "combs" rub and break seal. Releasing honey.

Honey to empty into device then to hoses. 
There is a valve for flow control. 

That said...where the heck are the bees in the video that would be swarming those jars?  How is it so clean? Etc

The "launch" of info really is a kickstart build up.  Again that said...there are several industry leading beekeepers who have tried it and says it works!  

I like magic like the next guy, but I'll have to wait to see how it works in person.  In anyway this is only geared toward novice level. You have to monitor honey filling jar, weather, etc.

What IS crazy is that they have over 10K FB page likes in 2 months.

I watched the video this morning. Just put in the bees and you don’t have to do anything else. Just open the tap and out comes the honey. It would be funny except for the fact that some people will probably think it’s possible.

The patent that was filed is very general and I doubt it will be awarded on this basis. 

There is no explanation of how hive management would be different to a conventional set up.

Certainly created quite a 'buzz' with their video...

Looks like they're trying to scam money from people who don't know any better.
