Weather Resistance: Withstands rain, snow, wind, and hail. Climate Adaptability: Performs well in any weather conditions. Usage Recommendations: To split the hive into two compartments, close the main entrance, insert a divider, and open the rear trapezoidal closures to create separate flight entrances for each compartment. Close the bottom ventilation with the plastic tray from February 1 to March 30 to support colony development during late winter. Keep bottom ventilation fully open for the rest of the year, even in severe frost. On hot summer days (above 30°C), use ventilated closures on the hive cover and place a vapor-permeable sheet or propolis mesh for improved airflow. For Varroa mite monitoring, keep the plastic tray slightly open (around 5 cm) to ensure adequate ventilation. Painting Instructions:Polyurethane is not UV-resistant. Apply a protective coating after 1–2 years of sun exposure. Lightly sand the surface before painting to ensure better adhesion. A properly applied coating can last up to 10 years. Potential Disadvantages:Unpainted hives may peel over time and have a shorter lifespan. Minor air bubbles or imperfections from manufacturing do not affect the hive's functionality and are not considered defects. Video Langstroth Flugo Show more
