Key Advantages of Flugo Beehives

• Lightweight and Portable: Hive boxes weigh only 1.8 kg, making transport and handling easy.
• Faster Spring Development: Excellent thermal insulation supports rapid colony growth in spring.
• Reduced Winter Food Consumption: Bees consume up to 50% less food during winter, saving costs.
• Exceptional Thermal Insulation: 3 cm thick polyurethane walls are equivalent to 14 cm of wood, ensuring optimal conditions for bees year-round.
• Seamless Construction: Made from a single piece without joints, improving hive stability.
• Easy Maintenance: Smooth surfaces simplify cleaning and reduce the spread of diseases.
• Optimal Year-Round Conditions: Hives maintain stable temperatures in summer for honey production and reduce bee mortality in winter, potentially increasing honey production by up to 30%.
• Pest Resistance: Polyurethane is resistant to damage from rodents and insects, extending the hive's lifespan.
• Durability and Strength: Resistant to rain, snow, wind, and hail.
• Suitable for All Climates: Flugo hives perform exceptionally in any climate, regardless of weather conditions.

Painting Instructions

Polyurethane is not UV-stable, so applying a UV-protective coating after 1–2 years of sun exposure is recommended. Lightly sand the surface before application to ensure proper adhesion. A properly applied coating can protect the hive for up to 10 years without the need for repainting.

Potential Disadvantages

Unpainted hives may have a shorter lifespan and may peel over time. Small bubbles or imperfections do not affect the hive's functionality and are not considered defects.
