Hi there @oldmans!  We have set out some criteria for the Apis Hive users, the idea is that it will encourage them to grow their account and expand their network on Hive in the long run.  A few of the main criteria that seem to be a bit of a hurdle for most users at the moment are 

- have not powered down in the past 3 months
- not liquidise any rewards
- not delegate out more than 30% of your staked HP
- Krampus coefficient KE (author and curation rewards)/staked HP) no higher than 1.8

There are some other criterias as well, they can be found in the 4th point here https://apishive.blog/faq,    normally they're not an issue for experienced users like yourself. 

If an account meets all the criteria, they will be able to claim the Honey pots.    Hope this helps, and thanks for supporting Apis Hive 😊
