APIDEA Mating Hive

The original from Switzerland. Hard styrofoam ensures the mating box is very durable.

The popular hives made of hard styrofoam for beekeeping are easy to use, stackable and easy to transport. The three frames are put together, provided with guide strips and inserted into the hive. Insert the aeration screen and excluders and fill the inhive feeder with feeding dough. The box is ready. If necessary, the bees can also remain in the APIDEA mating hives for a few weeks. In this case, the inhive feeder can be removed and and the brood chamber then offers space for a total of five frames. In this case, the Feeder Super is required, which offers space for approx. 1.2 kg of feeding dough to ensure that the bees have enough food. Another Brood Chamber Super can also be used. This offers space for five more frames.
