Our Polystyrene (Poly) hives offer exceptional thermal performance and durability whilst maintaining an ergonomic design. This means a higher honey production compared to wooden hives but with minimal weight. These types of polystyrene hive do not use crown boards, instead, we have an in-built feeding system for fondant so that you don't need an eke.

A complete high-density polystyrene (EPS) Langstroth hive from leading manufacturer Paradise Honey consisting of

Langstroth roof
Langstroth floor and varroa mesh
1 x Jumbo body
Varroa tray 
Hive entrance reducer 
Premium hive strap
Hive screws 

Please note - this hive does not come with a queen excluder

The entrance reducer also doubles as an entrance closer which is very useful if the hive needs to be moved.

This hive has a 295MM deep brood body which takes 10 Langstroth jumbo frames. Langstroth jumbo frames are the same width and depth as Dadant and thus give a large brood area plus plenty of space for stores for over-wintering.   Dadant hives were favoured by brother adam of Buckfast Abbey but the full dadant hive is very heavy, this jumbo Langstroth in high-density polystyrene has fewer frames than a dadant and is, therefore, lighter but still offers plenty of space for the queen.

You can find all of the Langstroth complete hives here.
