Taunus Zander Hive
The Taunus Zander Hive is made of hard-foamed Styrofoam® and is suitable for 9 cold frames. An outer fold ensures that the individual hive parts sit securely on top of each other. External dimensions: approx. 55 x 43 cm, empty weight approx. 10 kg. The hive parts are delivered in raw white. We recommend painting the outside purely for camouflage reasons. An additional protective coating is not required.
Our hives are free of HBCD, a flame-retardant additive known from the construction industry, and are manufactured in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Did you already know?
Styropor® hives shrink by up to one percent within the first year of production. With an external dimension of 50 cm, this corresponds to half a centimeter. Most of this process takes place in our warehouse, but is not yet complete when the hives are delivered. Frames with "fresh" frames therefore have less bearing surface than older frames and grids in the bottoms can come loose under tension.
Ventilation grids in Styropor® floors
The ventilation grilles in the shelves are carefully glued in with hot glue before delivery. We only use sturdy grilles made of 1 mm thick aluminum. Due to shrinkage processes and depending on use, ventilation grilles can become loose from time to time. To reattach them, we recommend using hot glue with a hot glue gun or ApiNord hive glue, Art. 2128. Please adapt the operating resources to the use, thank you.
