Beekeeping equipment & Bees

Lyson Poly Hives & BS Nucs Have 30 National Polystyrene Hive complete with built out frames. Designed with the beekeeper in mind, this National Polystyrene Hive is the latest addition to our extensive range of beehives. Custom manufactured for Donegal Bees by Lyson - the renowned polystyrene experts - our new National Polystyrene Hive is the result of months of careful design and planning to take the advanced Polystyrene processing from Lyson and apply it to the tried and tested National format. Proof of these design efforts is evident in the fact that our National Polystyrene Hive is fully compatible with your existing timber components. National Polystyrene Hive includes: Mesh Floor with sliding poly-tray Reversible Entrance Block Brood Chamber (can be split to run two nucs) 2 x Supers (with optional air vent/ entrance) 6" Deep Roof (with built-in eke) Polystyrene Crown Board (with 5 ventilated openings) Lyson Polystyrene Hives come with a selection of swappable poly-plugs and vent blocks which can be inserted into the openings on the Brood Chambers and Supers. 5 circular Polystyrene discs are also included which can be used to close the ventilated openings on the crownboard. This gives the beekeeper full control of ventilation right throughout the hive €150 per hive, €160 with buily out frames.
