Material

Imgut Multihive made of EPS: Expanded Polystyrene

Rigid foam made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a plastic that, thanks to its versatile properties, is ideally suited for the manufacture of beehives and has proven itself in beekeeping practice for decades.

Material Properties ofthe Imgut Multihive

• Lightweight and sturdy: for easy handling and beekeeping that’s easy on the joints
• Weather-resistant: durable and stable in all weather conditions
• Insulating: The material’s insulating properties protect the interior from external weather conditions and help the bees regulate the temperature inside the hive
• HBCD-free: our material is free of HBCD, a flame-retardant additive considered harmful to health

Good to Know

Hive components made of rigid foam shrink by up to one percent within the first year after production. With an outer dimension of 50 cm, that amounts to half a centimeter. Most of the shrinkage occurs in our warehouse and is not always fully complete at the time of delivery. Therefore, frames in “new” boxes have a larger contact surface area than in older ones.
