BEWI's beehives in EPS provide your bees with a good indoor climate, regardless of whether it is cold or hot. The EPS insulates, does not absorb moisture, has a long lifespan and is made of a lightweight material so it is easy to work with. In addition, they can be stacked very closely to avoid robbery by wasps and foreign bee families.
EPS has insulating properties that give the bees a good indoor climate, regardless of whether it is cold or hot. The beehives are easy to handle as the material is extremely light and maintenance-free, as well as having a lifespan of 30+ years. Unlike wood, EPS does not absorb moisture and adheres tightly, avoiding attacks from wasps and other bee families.
At the British Paynes Southdown Bee Farm they have experienced a 30% growth in honey production due to the better indoor climate for bees.
Advantages with EPS Beehives:
Comfort for bees (insulates against heat and cold and does not absorb moisture)
More productive bees
Easy to handle (light weight, maintenance-free)
