Colourful beehives Langstroth sizes arranged in L shape. Beekeeping yard & National poly hive_ Polystyrene Apiaries hives, Liverpool, Merseyside, UK


Polystyrene beehives have been used on Continental Europe for several decades, however, until recently they were only available in Langstroth sizes which limited their popularity in the UK. In recent years, they have become available in British National dimensions, including 14x12 brood boxes and as such, their use has become more widespread in this country. Poly hives were initially used in colder regions such as Scandinavia where the significantly increased insulation of the polystyrene compared to cold damp wooden beehives offered enormous benefits in keeping colonies healthy throughout the winter
