Customise Your Poly National Hive
The polystyrene hive has many benefits over a wooden version. It is lighter, cheaper and the insulation properties of poly mean the bees can overwinter better and have a quicker Spring start. No assembly needed, just a splash of masonry paint on the outside is needed.
Dont think of poly as the cheap alternative however. This is not polystyrene that you would find around a new TV, this is high density - 4 times the density, meaning you get a strong, robust hive that will last 30+ years. All of our poly national and poly nucs are UK made too - no importing.
Customise your hive and design it with the specifications that you need.
