Plastic Beehive

Before purchasing a bee hive you will need to decide whether you want to purchase a wooden bee hive or a Plastic Beehive. Although wooden bee hives may be your first thought, think again about the advantages of using Plastic as they are beneficial for not only you but your bees.

What are the advantages of using a Plastic Beehive over Wooden Beehive?

A TechnosetBee® Plastic Beehive is specifically designed to provide the beekeeper with a durable product with distinct advantages, these include:

1. The unique twin walled hive body protects the bees from all weather extremes so there will be more foraging and less allocating resources for temperature control.
2. Is compatible with wooden Bee Hives.
3. BPA free to ensure food is safe.
4. Bee Hives can be easily washed with warm soapy water.
5. Built in sunscreen to ensure that it is UV stable.
6. Comes in a range of colours
7. Easy to assemble
8. Maintenance free so you won’t need to glue, nail, paint or sand the hive.
9. Does not suffer from mould contamination and cannot be damages by moths and beetles
10. The Bee Hives can be easily washed with warm soapy water and extremely easy to assemble.

A TechnosetBee® Plastic Beehive is manufactured from a polypropylene compound that forms the tough exterior surfaces of the hive body, base and lid. It also comes with an 8 year guarantee.

If you have wooden bee hives and and have the typical issues bee keepers experience, we suggest the following products;

Eliminate Cold Drafts and Reduce Mice. If you need to replace the bottom tray we suggest a TechnosetBee® Solid Bottom Board. It will eliminate the cold drafts and reduce mice from entering the hive. Whilst made to fit the TechnosetBee® hive body, it can also be used to replace existing bottom boards on wooden hives.

Eliminate Infestation of Varroa Mites. Avoid Varroa mites from dropping through the screen rather than land on a solid base and then simply crawl back up into the hive. Beekeepers with varroa mites speak very highly of the TechnosetBee® Screened Bottom Board. Yet again, this is designed to fit our hive body but can also be used on older style wooden hives.

Both Boards are of course manufactured from a polypropylene compound specifically designed for its durability!

All bee hives come with an 8 year guarantee, so you’ll know it will last! Perfect for both hobbyist beekeepers and commercial beekeepers alike.
