Unpainted Rutta double-body beehive for 10 frames BeeHome with a hygienic bottom
The Bee Home Styrofoam Hive with Hygienic Bottom
(unpainted) is a modern model that greatly facilitates the work of the
beekeeper and creates optimal conditions for bees.
The main advantage of 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 case, and special gaps at the corners make it easier to separate
the propolis-glued elements.
The body holds 10 frames of Ruta.
The hive set includes:
- High roof (W10150) - 1 pc.
- Ceiling (W10210) - 1 pc.
- Ruta body (B10200) - 2 pcs.
- Hygienic bottom (W1022000) - 1 pc
- Plastic ventilation 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. This bottom design also allows for easy cleaning with the optional bottom
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 foam plug. If necessary, during the active season, you can install
a plastic arrival 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 roof allows you to place a feeder or paste feed inside to feed the bees.
We recommend painting the hive elements with a special paint
to increase its resistance to external factors (direct sunlight, moisture, high
and low temperatures).
