Why a Synthetic Beehive?

Polypropylene is the perfect material that meets our standards for top quality.

Polypropylene has been in existence for many years. As a beekeeping tool in Europe it has a service history of 30 years. It is chemically inert, will not corrode and is not affected by high or low pH or seaside (saltwater ) environments. Polypropylene‘s physical and chemical properties have been extensively documented and will last for a period in excess of 25 years.
