Selecting the right beehive is essential for creating a productive and sustainable environment for your bees. The Paradise Honey EPS Polystyrene Poly Beehives, available through Buzzbee, are designed to support bee health, increase honey production, and provide the durability beekeepers need in diverse climates. These hives offer many advantages over traditional wooden hives, especially in Australia, where temperature extremes can impact bee colonies.
The Benefits of Polystyrene Beehives
Polystyrene beehives like the Paradise Honey range provide unique benefits, especially in warm or variable climates. Here are some key reasons why beekeepers are choosing polystyrene over conventional wood:
-
Superior Insulation
The EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) material offers excellent thermal insulation, maintaining a consistent internal temperature that supports brood development. The Expanded Polystyrene that we use is not like the standard Polystyrene that you get as packaging, this is much denser, little heavier and so much better insulation properties. In fact the insulation properties are rated R7 to R8 making these even better insulated than nearly all Australian houses, yet alone wooden hives.
This is especially beneficial during extreme Australian summers and cooler winters, where temperature fluctuations can stress colonies. The stable climate inside the hive helps the bees conserve energy, leading to increased honey production and a healthier hive.
-
Lightweight and Easy to Handle
Polystyrene hives are notably lighter than traditional wood, making them easier to transport and manage, whether you’re moving them around your property or taking them to pollination sites. This ease of handling is particularly useful for commercial and hobbyist beekeepers alike.
-
Durability and Longevity
Unlike wooden hives that may warp, rot, or crack over time, EPS polystyrene hives are resilient to environmental wear and tear. Paradise Honey hives are built to last, offering years of service with minimal maintenance. Their durability reduces the long-term costs and effort associated with hive replacement and upkeep.
-
Enhanced Honey Production
With a consistently warmer and stable environment, bees in polystyrene hives can focus on honey production instead of regulating the hive temperature. Buzzbee customers report improved productivity with Paradise Honey hives, making them an excellent investment for those looking to maximise their honey harvest.
Key Features of Paradise Honey EPS Poly Beehives
The Paradise Honey hives available at Buzzbee come with features designed for both bee welfare and beekeeper convenience:
- Ventilation Options: Ensures airflow control, reducing humidity and preventing mould growth.
- No Cold Spots: Due to the incredible insulation properties, there are no cold spots within the hive and as result during the colder months when cool air can condense and dribble down onto bees thus killing them. This simple does not happen because when cooler the moist air can’t condense on the internal surface of the hive because 1. The internal air is warmer. 2. The internal surface does not have cold spots to allow condensing to happen.
- Customisable Components: Offers a modular system that allows beekeepers to expand or adjust the hive setup according to colony needs.
- UV and Weather Resistant: Paradise Honey hives are built to withstand sunlight and harsh weather conditions once they are painted with a UV stable paint, this is essential for Australia’s diverse climate.
