HIVE-THERMAL Thermally Stable Coating for Beehives (5l)

Description:

HIVE-THERMAL is an innovative paint for beehives, designed to protect bees from extreme temperatures. This aqueous dispersion coating, loaded with hollow, spherical, non-porous glass particles, offers exceptional resistance and clarity. When dried, it forms an impermeable membrane that reflects the sun and has a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI).

Benefits and Features:

Beehive temperature control: Helps to maintain the internal temperature of the hive within the optimal limits for the biological functioning of the bees.

Protection against insolation: The coating allows the hive to withstand strong insolation, protecting the bees from dehydration and allowing them to focus on essential tasks, such as protection against predators and parasites.

Improves hive productivity: By reducing the need for bees to ventilate and refresh the hive, this coating allows worker bees to continue working even at temperatures above 36 °C.

Extends the durability of the hive: Being waterproof, it provides additional protection to the hive structure, preventing the wood from rotting due to rain.

Product Specifications:

Product type: Beehive paint
Components: Hollow, spherical, non-porous glass particles
Yield: 0.6 liters/m2
Application: Two layers
It is waterproof and highly reflective to the sun

Trial Results:

During a trial conducted between June 24 and July 1, the hive protected with HIVE-THERMAL recorded significantly lower internal temperatures at all times compared to an untreated hive.

Trial Conclusion:

The protection of the hives with the HIVE-THERMAL coating allowed maintaining significantly lower interior temperature levels, providing significant benefits to the wellbeing of the bees and resulting in increased productivity and longevity of the hive.
