Small hive - Great opportunities

The 6-frame hive for Wielkopolskie frames made of foamed polypropylene is an ideal item for creating bee nuclei and packages. However, the pro-ecological properties are not the only advantage of EPP. First of all, endurance. Expanded polypropylene, despite its plasticity, which allows the creation of virtually any shape, shows very high resistance to physical and chemical factors. Indifferent to any impacts, deformations or mechanical damage, it provides the equipment with high durability, thus ensuring a longer service life. Thanks to its excellent thermal properties, it can also be used for wintering smaller colonies with spare queens, ensuring that they maintain the desired temperature for a long time. The EPP material is also stable in a wide temperature range (-40°C - +60°C) and thus its properties are in no way dependent on the weather conditions outside. It also provides additional protection for the bee colony in the event of a fire. In addition, the combustion of the EPP material does not emit toxic gases, so again a plus for environmental protection. Another advantage of the hive made of expanded polypropylene is its low moisture absorption. A key context when maintaining proper apiary hygiene. The closed cells of the building material make it completely waterproof. Following this lead, we come across another important feature of EPP. By using it in the production of hives, we reduce the susceptibility of the bee nest to the formation of fungi or mold to a minimum. Similarly, the acoustic properties of the EPP hive are extremely important for bees, as they are particularly sensitive to noise. A loud sound can induce a swarm to attack, which results in unnecessary consumption of its energy. In addition, by inhabiting a new generation hive with a bee family, we provide it with comfort related to the lack of transmission of vibrations from the outside, to which bees are very sensitive.

Beehive for self-assembly, does not contain frames in the set
