The HiveIQ Hive Kit delivers a next-level hive experience rooted in thoughtful design and real performance benefits. Constructed from high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), this hive provides significantly superior insulation compared with traditional wooden hives — helping bees maintain stable internal temperatures in both winter and summer. This temperature stability reduces the energy bees must use simply to stay alive, freeing them to focus on growth, brood rearing, and honey production.
Unlike standard wood, HiveIQ’s EPS construction is moisture-resistant, lightweight, and durable, meaning fewer stresses from weather, pests (like termites), and dry rot over time. This translates into a more protective hive environment with less maintenance for you.
This flat-packed kit includes everything you need to construct a 9-frame deep hive setup (frames and foundation not included). Designed to accept standard deep frames, it’s ready for your choice of exterior-grade latex paint to personalize and protect your hive for years to come.
