Čechoslovák Hive Box 37x30 – 13 Frames

Beehive Box for Čechoslovák 37x30 Frames (13 Frames)

This beehive box, designed for Čechoslovák frame dimensions of 37x30 cm, accommodates up to 13 frames. Constructed from polyurethane, the box provides exceptional thermal insulation—its 3.9 cm walls are equivalent to 15 cm of wood in insulating properties.

The hive box is made from a single monolithic piece of polyurethane, ensuring no use of fasteners. This seamless design guarantees superior strength and durability, even with the 3.9 cm wall thickness.

Frame Configuration Options:

• 1 divider: Splits the box into 2 compartments (6 + 6 frames).
• 2 dividers: Splits the box into 3 compartments (3 + 6 + 3 frames).
• 3 dividers: Splits the box into 4 compartments (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 frames).

Note: To use this box with dividers, a special bottom board is required. This component is currently under development and will be available soon.

Each hive box features a ventilation opening with a trapezoidal closure for easy airflow management.

Painting Instructions:
Polyurethane is not UV-resistant. Apply a protective coating after 1–2 years of outdoor use. Lightly sand the surface before painting to ensure adhesion. A proper coating can protect the hive for up to 10 years without repainting.

Potential Disadvantages:
Unpainted hive boxes may have a shorter lifespan and are prone to peeling over time. Minor air bubbles or manufacturing imperfections do not affect functionality and are not considered defects.
