- Insulation: The R8 insulation helps maintain hive temperature, which enhances honey production by allowing more bees to forage instead of regulating temperature.
- Ease of Assembly: The hives can be assembled without the use of staples, screws, or nails, requiring only wood glue and a couple of coats of exterior latex paint.
- Durability: The hives are designed to last longer without the need for repairs or replacements common with wooden hives, and they are competitively priced with wood options.
- Includes 20 Deep Wooden Frames and Plastic Beeswax Coated Foundations
Overview:
Founded by Stephen Miller, Superior Bee is an American company that produces innovative polystyrene beehives. Miller developed a unique hive with a 2-inch thickness, providing an R8 insulation value, which is distinctive in the market. The hives are made in the USA from high-density polystyrene. This ensures durability and exact interior dimensions to fit standard Langstroth frames seamlessly.
Benefits of Our Hives
- Increased Honey Production: Bees spend less time and energy on temperature regulation, which increases foraging efficiency.
- Enhanced Survival Superior insulation improves winter survivability by conserving energy, reducing the need to wrap hives.
- Less Propolis: Reduced use of propolis in the hive frees more bees for foraging activities.
- Improved Temperature Control: Effective temperature management supports stronger bee activity from spring through summer.
