More practical, more hygienic, bee friendly, UV-resistant, food grade material
Year Round Insulation
Double walled structure and insulation infifills helps bees to maintain aconstant temperature in the hive.
|
Food Grade Materials
The raw materials used in the manufacturing of the hives are in agreement with food, and constitute a hygienic living space, preventing formation of bee
diseases.
|
Active Air Circulation
Bottom ventilation fifilter, ventilation holes on feeders, and ventilation louvres on
hive top cover provide draught free active air circulation. This
maintains in-hive moisture balance and prevents formation of humidity.

I ntegrated Pest Management (IPM) The screened bottom increases brood production,reduces Varroa mite counts, enables you to better monitor your Varroa infestation levels, andenables bees to over winter better. |
Migratory Beekeeping The entire sections clips together with heavyduty fixed side clips, also fitted to the sides are lifting handles. All the sections are moulded to ensure correct fitting and slotting together. |
Durable and Effective The Thermo Hives Hives are impact proof, they are made from robust, tough and high qualityfood grade plastic. Their durable structure is suitable for all kinds of climatic conditions. |
Insulation
Double layer insulation helps keeping the colony warmer in the winter
and cooler in the summer, creating an ideal living environment for the
bees especially in the extreme climates like in Arizona, or New
England. It reduces the winter food consumption, and stimulates colony
growth in the spring therefore the colony is more
productive in the next year.
Moisture Control System
The materials used in our beehives do not absorb moisture. The beehives
are also designed to have an active ventilation system, hence resisting
fungus growth, condensation, and mold, which are common problems in
wooden hives. The beehive is equipped with a screened bottom board
which enables air intake. The top
feeder located on the top contains air slots in the perimeter enabling
the moisture to leave the hive body, and the telescopic hive top cover
has slots in the front and in the back to let the moisture out of the
beehive. In addition, there are adjustable round entrances on the deep
hive bodies which can be used for bee entrance or for ventilation.
Loaded with Accessories
Each of our hives are equipped with a screened bottom board with mite
tray which are proven to help fighting small hive beetle and Varroa
mites. There is also an integrated pollen trap and a pollen tray to
collect fresh local pollen during high pollen season. On top of our 2
story beehive, you can find the zero-drown top feeder which can hold
either a gallon syrup or your pollen patties to feed the bees. The
beehive set also comes with a queen excluder for adding a honey super
and a division/uniting board for when you need to split a big colony or
merge 2 weak colonies. If you want to add extra supers, or want to
harvest propolis, or need additional frames, frame spacers, round
entrances, queen excluders, etc, we have them all ready for you. The
switch to the beehive is easy if you already have beekeeping equipment. Our beehive is standardLangstroth hive size therefore you can use any wooden or plastic frames interchangeably, or add your existing wooden supers on top of our beehives.
