How to make a hive of polystyrene foam

Polystyrene foam - light, inexpensive material, has good thermal insulation, simple and convenient in work. Less durable than a tree, but to make out of it with their own hands much easier. It will be necessary: \u200b\u200bthe material in the form of tiles of extrusion polystyrene foam thickness of at least 50 cm, you can purchase in a construction store, a long metal ruler, screw screws, glue, a stationery knife, screwdriver, angle of 15 x 15 mm. In addition, ventilation grid, better metallic, drawings.

On the cooked tiles make markups according to drawings with a small margin in the half-meter. Cut parts using a stationery knife. Cut the tiles on the ruler, keep the knife at right angles to the surface.

Make wrapping with the empty table - on a sheet of plywood stick out the sandpaper. Such a leading device is necessary for the processing of irregularities of the tiles edge. Put the prepared parts on the table and do the wrapper by 1-2 mm.

To capital gluing the walls of the house, the front and rear walls of the hive to equip foldals with a size of 20 × 11 mm (small recesses). On them then slander the frames of the frames. In one house, you can put up to 10 pieces. On the side walls make slots for the handles.

To connect the billets on their edges, apply glue, press, fix with screws, screwing them to a depth of about 5 mm. Distance between Samoresums 10-12 cm. The glue should be special, liquid nails or "titanium". Remove the lodges of the glue, otherwise, after drying, they cannot be eliminated. Printed handles.

After a day, when the glue will die, put the house housing. Place the beehive on the sandpaper, press the opposite walls and, making movements in the form of a pendulum, pollute all the walls of the hive. Check that there is no cracks in the wall connection location, because The light will fall inside, and the microclimate of the hive will break.

At the recesses in the front and rear walls, stick strips of fiberboard or harvested small corners. Install the hollow frame on them. In the square opening of the bottom to strengthen the grid for ventilation. The grid is chosen quite durable, for example, aluminum grid for tuning cars.

Make a roof of a house, so that it closes it tightly. At high air temperature, over 28 degrees, turn it into another position, for additional ventilation. To protect the destruction of the polymer from severe sunlight, the bee house must be painted. Paints choose water based, because The polymer tile is sensitive to acetone and other solvents. It is advisable to drain the bottom of the house, because It is too light.

The bee houses from Poly Penopolistol there are many advantages: no additional insulation and side units are needed, they are very lungs - no more than 1500 g, they are easily going and transferred, even one beekeeper will cope with it. There are cons: polystyrene foam hives does not let moisture, so condensate is formed, and drops flow on the bottom. Additional ventilation will help. Such evidence for bees are very comfortable.
