Body 1/2 for Dadant Blatt beehives, not-painted

Polystyrene beehives become more and more popular. Low weight and small size in comparison with wooden beehives make them especially useful in both migratory as well as in stationary professional and hobbyist apiaries.

Main reason of their popularity are ease of decontamination, durability and high level of aesthetics. The farming in polystyrene hives is not much different from that in hives made of other materials. The only problem which beekeeper can approach is dampness of brood box resulting from impermeability of this material. High thermal insulation properties provide perfect thermal conditions and it is beneficial for growing of bee colony in the spring. Polystyrene beehives are equipped with additional elements facilitating the work in apiary and increasing bee products.

Advantages of polystyrene beehives:

• excellent thermal insulation properties
• resistance to moisture
• small weight of elements that facilitates feeding, harvesting and management of migratory apiaries
• durability associated with resistance to atmospheric conditions
• environmentally friendly (suitable for recycling)
• compatibility of all elements
