Polystyrene
Hives
|
|
These new hives
are made from extremely high density polystyrene in order to give them an
extended life. The boxes take 10 frames, and are fully interchangeable with
wooden National hive parts. The
polystyrene is an excellent insulator, which means colonies come out of the
winter in much better condition.
