WHY HIIVE?
Every year, beekeepers are forced to treat their bees more and more. Nevertheless, the loss rates over the winter continue to rise. HIIVE, on the other hand, significantly strengthens the natural resilience of the bees by mimicking their natural habitat and its specific factors. This sustainable and healthy environment helps honey bees adapt better to environmental influences and survive independently in the long term.
Based on science.
HIIVE is based on extensive studies of the natural habitat of honeybees in tree cavities. By mimicking supportive environmental factors, HIIVE promotes the natural health of the bees and minimizes the need for chemical treatments by beekeepers.
Why are insulation and the right geometry important for honeybees?
Honeybees must maintain a stable nest temperature year-round, a task that requires considerable effort from the worker bees without insulation. Good insulation and a favorable geometry of the hive significantly relieve the bees, much like in nature where tree cavities serve this function. Therefore, HIIVE acts as an energy-saving home for bees.
What is the significance of giving bees the freedom to build natural comb?
Bees have perfected their comb-building over millions of years. This allows them to use their natural instincts, resulting in better comb rotation, a reduced disease burden, and optimized temperature regulation.
Is it possible to treat the Varroa parasite?
Of course, HIIVE allows for the implementation of common treatment methods to control Varroa infestation.
What are the benefits of species-appropriate beekeeping?
Species-appropriate beekeeping minimizes labor and time, as the bees can largely live independently, requiring fewer interventions.
Is it possible to harvest honey despite natural comb building?
Although HIIVE does not use frames, sophisticated techniques enable a fair and easy honey harvest.
