THERMO BEE HIVE SYSTEM
The multi-purpose ApiMaye Thermo Hive types were developed taking bee biology, physiology and behaviours together with beekeeper requests and different ecological characteristics into consideration in line with this perspective. A Colony Management System that enables rearing bees in a healthy environment, transporting them without causing any harm and preventing potential harms to them has been implemented with ApiMaye Thermo Hives.
THERMAL INSULATION
The innovative all-round double layer insulation helps keep the colony warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A special filling material used in the top cover and side walls of Thermo Hives provides thermal insulation, offering a suitable habitat for the colony in different climatic conditions and consequently enabling wintering without losses.
ACTIVE VENTILATION
The design of the hives allows the incoming air from the hive bottom filters to rise all the way through the ventilation duct with the increasing temperature, and the exit through the air ducts on the feeders and then through the louvres on the hive top cover. This enables an affective draught free air circulation in the hive. The ventilation system is designed to work separately and independently for each hive model. The ventilation system prevents any rise of in hive humidity, preventing any yeast or mould formation in the hives.
BEE FRIENDLY PLASTIC
ApiMaye Thermo Hives are manufactured from certified plastic (HDPE) in accordance with the Food Codex, directly coloured without employing external paint, using plastic blow molding and injection molding technologies. Manufactured to have antibacterial features, Apimaye Thermo Hives support producers in controlling potential European and American Foul Brood diseases. The hives are manufactured with anti-static additives against dust formation and electrification. The raw materials with UV additives to protect the hives against harmful sun rays, thereby prolonging their service life.
VARROA CONTROL SYSTEM
Thermo Hive bottom boards are equipped with an IPM system composed of a varroa excluder and drawer. Thanks to the design of the excluder, varroa falling off the bees cannot re-enter the hive. Regular cleaning of the drawer will lead the bees to the nectar instead of having to perform a nursing flight, providing a positive contribution to honey productivity.
HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
The trouble-free working environment Thermo Hives provides for bees removes the unnecessary work that would otherwise be required, enabling both the bees and the beekeeper to concentrate their efforts on producing honey and other bee products. Colonies coming strong out of wintering work more productively during the season.
EASE OF TRANSPORT
The rope-winding groove on top of Thermo Hives enables securing the hive on the vehicle for transport. The hive flight board is safely closed and locked, preventing the bees from entering or exiting the hive during transport. The brood box and supers are fixed together with a lock latch device that also serves as a carrying handle. The latch can also be used to connect several hives together for transportation, unlike the traditional wood hives that just stack on top of each other. The ventilation filters on the bottom of stackable type Thermo hives keep letting air in during transport, eliminating losses and collapse.
STERILISATION
You can disinfect a Thermo Beehive to protect against diseases using common disinfectants. Parts soiled by bees can be washed by sponge or washing up brush, power washing of warm water high pressure (60°C, 60 Bars), bleach water with water (disinfection), or caustic soda with warm water (60°C).
CONVENIANCE OF USE
Thermo Hives are designed and include several accessories as standard such as queen excluder, varroa drawer, varroa trap (IPM bottom board), pollen trap, multifunctional hive entrance, top feeder, lock and latch handles, handy frames, division & uniting board to provide all beekeepers needs and increase productivity.
NO ASSEMBLY AND NO MAİNTENANCE DOWN THE TRACK
Thermo Hives are impact proof and they do not rot, wrap or absorb moisture. Therefore there is no maintenance. All Thermo Hives comes fully assembled and ready to use.
