Insulating Divider Board Langstroth 285

The insulating divider board is designed for insulating bee colonies during spring development, as well as for insulating nucleus colonies or weak colonies. The divider board is inserted into the hive box to divide it into two parts, which allows for raising new nucleus colonies. The divider is gradually moved until the nucleus becomes a full-fledged colony. This solution is especially useful for newly created nucleus colonies. The divider board also serves to reduce space in the hive for weaker colonies or nucleus colonies during winter. By reducing space in the hive, thermal comfort and insulation efficiency for the colony are increased. If the hive is not fully occupied with frames, the divider can be used to separate the active part of the colony from unused space in the hive.

These dividers are made of polycarbonate plastic sheet with a thickness of 3 mm, which is firmly glued and secured with staples into a wooden frame. Inside, traditional polystyrene or fiberboard is used as reinforcement.
