Dadant Blatt OPTIMA Hive, varnished (ORANGE), disassembled

The Dadant Blatt hive is a very popular type of hive worldwide and is widely used in both migratory and stationary apiaries. Its design has many advantages that make it attractive to beekeepers, especially for intensive beekeeping.

Frames 470 x 435 x 145 mm and 470 x 435 x 300 mm.

Hardened polystyrene provides very good insulation while making the hives lightweight, which is very important for mobile apiaries. Bee colonies overwinter well and develop very well in them. It is always important to ensure good ventilation.

For this purpose, openings are created during manufacturing in hive elements such as the body, roof, or bottom, which are secured with ventilation plugs with mesh (to prevent pests from entering the hive) or closed with caps (e.g., polystyrene).

Proper ventilation is also ensured by the hygienic plastic bottom board, which is included in this hive model. Additionally, it allows monitoring of varroa mite spread in colonies and is resistant to weather conditions and browsing. Easy cleaning and disinfection are other very important advantages of the bottom board.

It is ideal for starting your beekeeping because it contains all necessary components in the set. Moreover, it is compatible with the standard Lyson hive system. The hive is designed for self-assembly, so in its unassembled state, it can save storage space. Assembly of the OPTIMA hive is very simple, thanks to the intuitive matching of elements.
