A three-layer wall
Every hive and nuc combines three materials, from the outside in, to protect the colony all year round.
- 1
Galvanised steel
The outside. It protects against sun, rain, knocks in transport and rodents, and needs no paint.
- 2
Polystyrene
The insulating core. It keeps the brood temperature stable in winter and summer, with little weight.
- 3
Polypropylene
The inside, in contact with the bees. A smooth, tough surface that is easy to scrape and disinfect.
Made in our Zaratán factory
The process starts with the steel parts: they are cut, folded, punched and welded to form the “chassis”. It is then assembled inwards, lined with the XPS and the polypropylene.
