• Roof

Brood box:

Dadant Blatt hive body for frames 470 × 300 mm (435 × 300 mm)

Honey Paw hives, made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), have a density greater than 100 kg/m³. They provide excellent thermal insulation, creating better wintering conditions for bees. Holds 10 frames (Hoffman type).

– Internal dimensions: 470 × 370 mm
– External dimensions: 544 × 452 mm
– Body height: 310 mm

Honey supers:

The 1/2 Dadant body is most commonly used as a honey super in Dadant-type hives.

Body height – 155 mm; 145 mm high frames are used.

Roof:

A multifunctional hive roof adapted to a dynamic and changing climate – helps keep the hive warm, especially during wintering, and when flipped over provides ventilation.

The Honey Paw hive roof is 45 mm thick in the middle, ensuring excellent thermal insulation in all conditions. The roof has protruding edges that additionally protect the hive from adverse weather.

If the hive temperature needs to be reduced, the roof can be flipped – creating a ventilation channel for warm air to escape.

Bottom:

Honey Paw hive bottom with plastic mesh. The bottom is the same size as the Honey Paw bodies.

A bottom with mesh should be set slightly raised from the ground, for example on a wooden pallet, so that there is open space directly under the hive bottom. If necessary, the bottom opening can be closed with a separate closure plate. It is recommended to close the hive entrance only when transporting the hive or dividing the bee colony.
