Insulating Division Board Langstroth 159

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

These division boards 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.
