Product Description
The bottom has two ventilation holes under the mesh, with the option to install a divider flag to separate families. A groove of 22 mm is made at the bottom for a standard PPS sheet to cover the bees in cold weather (if needed). There are recesses for handles. The groove for dividing the hive in half, each half has its own entrance.
The hive roof has a thickness ranging from 72 mm to 52 mm at its narrowest point. It has a slight slope on the sides to drain water. The roof is heavy and does not require additional load against the wind.
The body for 145 mm frames is monolithic. Two bodies allow placing a 300 mm frame.
The body is 40 mm thick at the narrowest point. Internal size 450*385 mm
The body is very strong, you can work with a chisel around the entire perimeter (a 1 mm groove is made), and thanks to the high density of the material, bees do not gnaw the hive.
The surface of the product is smooth and does not require preliminary preparation before painting. It can be painted with any facade paint.
All bodies have grooves for dividing in half (into two sections of 5 frames each)
