Polystyrene beehive DNM, Zander with a hygienic bottom Bee Home, painted green (without a ceiling)

The Bee Home Styrofoam Hive with Hygienic Bottom (green) is a modern model that greatly facilitates the work of the beekeeper and creates optimal conditions for the bees.

The main advantage of polystyrene hives is their lightweight, durable and well-insulated material. This helps to maintain a stable microclimate inside, which contributes to a comfortable wintering and increased honey collection (up to 50% compared to wooden hives).

Why choose a Bee Home hive?

•         Light weight - 4 times lighter than its wooden counterpart, which reduces the physical load for the beekeeper.
•         Strength and durability - wear-resistant material is designed for more than 25 years of service.
•         Resistant to weather conditions - does not absorb moisture, does not crack from heat or frost, and does not fade in the sun.
•         Thermal insulation - minimises heat loss in winter and prevents overheating in summer, which reduces feed consumption and ventilation efforts.
•         Convenient hygienic bottom design - metal grille and drawer help regulate ventilation and reduce the spread of varroa.
•         Thoughtful ergonomics - plastic folds strengthen the body, and special gaps at the corners make it easier to separate the propolis-glued elements.
•         Aesthetic appearance - the green colour not only decorates the apiary, but also provides additional protection of the hive from external factors.

Holds 10 Zander frames and 12 DNM frames.

The hive package includes:

•         High roof (W1015_Z) - 1 pc.
•         Zander/DNM body (D1019_Z) - 3 pcs.
•         Hygienic bottom (W102200_Z) - 1 pc
•         Plastic vent plug - 7 pcs
•         Trapezoidal plug made of polystyrene foam - 7 pcs
•         Plastic flight barrier with latch - 1 pc

The design of the hygienic bottom includes a metal mesh and a drawer. This allows you to easily adjust the ventilation in the hive depending on the season. The design of the hygienic bottom helps to reduce varroa infestation: a mite that falls through the mesh cannot return to the bees. The bottom design also allows for easy cleaning with an optional pollen trap.

The plastic flight barrier allows you to adjust the width of the flight, or close it completely if necessary.

The body contains plastic folds, which significantly strengthens the structure. In addition, there are small gaps at the corners of the case so that the propolis-glued cases can be easily levelled with a chisel. There is a ventilation hole in the front wall, complete with a plastic vent and a blind polystyrene plug. If necessary, during the active season, you can install a hoof board in the flight opening, which is sold separately.

The high canopy has four ventilation holes. Each vent is supplied with two plugs - a plastic one and a ventilation one. The height of the top allows you to place a feeder or paste feed inside to feed the bees.

The hive is painted with green paint, which increases its resistance to external factors (direct sunlight, moisture, high and low temperatures).

Made in Ukraine.

Bee Home is for those who appreciate the comfort of bees and efficient work in the apiary!
