Unpainted polystyrene beehive Zander with a hygienic bottom for four families Bee Home

The Zander polystyrene hive with hygienic bottom for 4 families Bee Home (unpainted) is an innovative solution that combines the functionality of four nuclei in one body.

The main advantage of this hive is a significant simplification of the work of the beekeeper who is engaged in the rearing of queen bees. Thanks to the use of the standard Zander frame, there is no longer any need to work with small nuc frames. This makes it easy to create brood and effortlessly transfer young queens to new families.

The hive set includes:

•         High roof (W10150) - 1 pc.
•         Feeder ceiling divided (W11240-4)
•         Zander/DNM divided body (D10190-4) - 1 pc
•         Zander polystyrene dividing board (D1031-4) - 3 pcs
•         Hygienic bottom divided (D1022000-4) - 1 pc
•         Polystyrene foam barrier to the bottom of the Zander divided (D1035) - 1 pc
•         Plastic vent plug (3048) - 8 pcs
•         Trapezoidal plug made of polystyrene foam (W3047) - 4 pcs
•         Plastic flight barrier with latch (3145) - 1 pc
•         Plastic landing board (hoof) (JW1001) - 4 pcs

The design of the hygienic bottom includes a metal mesh and a drawer. There are three ventilation holes in the side and rear walls, which act as air vents. A polystyrene foam plug and a plastic landing board for each of the holes are included. The modified flight barrier covers the entire flight, leaving only the ventilation hole, which is the fourth flight hole for one of the hive compartments.

The body has grooves for the installation of three polystyrene dividing boards, which divide the hive into four separate compartments. Two Zander frames can be installed in each compartment, which makes it much easier to work with compared to traditional nuclei with small frames.

The feeder, divided into four sections, allows you to feed each group of bees separately. It has compartments for syrup and a bee passage separated by a mesh.

The high roof has four ventilation holes. Each ventilation hole comes with two plugs - a plastic one and a ventilation one. The height of the roof allows you to place a feeder or paste feed inside to feed the bees.

The main advantage of expanded polystyrene hives is their lightweight, durable material with excellent thermal insulation. 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 polished elements.
•       

We recommend painting the hive to increase its resistance to external factors (direct sunlight, moisture, high and low temperatures).
