This category includes the different models of hives of Polystyrene (light material and very good thermal insulation). Within each article you can see the description, materials, prices, measurements and more characteristics.
It is a hive made with High density expanded polystyrene, an insulating material, light and resistant to moisture. It is designed to improve the thermal comfort of the colony and optimize its productivity throughout the year.
No. Polystyrene hives are made of material Non-toxic food and are coated with protective paints that prevent any direct contact of the material with bees. They do not alter the taste or quality of the honey.
Yes, high density polystyrene (100–120 kg/m3) offers one great mechanical strength. However, the use of cutting tools or direct shocks should be avoided, and it is advisable to handle them carefully during harvesting and transport.
