Preparation Guide of Paradise Honey Beehives

Assembling the Polystyrene Beehive with Wood Glue/Adhesive
To assemble a Paradise honey polystyrene beehive, first lay out all the components and ensure they fit together correctly. Apply a high-quality, waterproof wood glue or adhesive to the joints and edges of the polystyrene pieces. Press the parts together firmly, wiping away any excess glue, and allow them to dry completely according to the adhesive’s recommended curing time.

Securing the Hive for Stability
After gluing, ensure the beehive structure is stable and aligned correctly. If needed, use clamps or weights to hold the pieces in place while the glue dries. Double-check that all connections are secure and that the hive is square and level, as any misalignment could affect the hive's functionality and durability.

Painting with UV Water-Based Exterior Paint
Once the hive assembly is complete and the glue has fully dried, apply a UV-protective, water-based exterior paint to the inside and outside of the beehive. This paint will shield the polystyrene from sunlight and weather damage on the outside and stop bees potentially attempting to nibble the interior. Use smooth, even strokes using a short 100mm foam roller to cover the entire surface, applying at least two coats for optimal protection. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before adding the next, and ensure the hive is fully dry before placing it outdoors.
