Winterize your hives with our two-component system: Crown Top Panel & Wrap.
The Winter Wrap
R Value 8
This outer winter wrap is designed for tough, frigid weather. These 1½ inch custom cut, high-density foam boards wrap securely around your hive to protect it from harsh winter weather. The foil-faced insulation panels feature interlocking box cuts for ease of assembly and storage. Winterizing your hives has never been so simple.
The Crown
High-tech vacuum insulation panels meet the bee industry! Our top panel utilizes the most effective & efficient insulation ever made. This 0.8-inch panel is equivalent to 8 inches of foam board.
The high R-value (R-value = resistance to heat loss) Crown panel is the key to creating a condensing hive. It keeps the top of the hive above the dew point, allowing condensation to form on the cooler sides instead. Your bees stay warm & dry.
Plus, the majority of heat loss is from the top of the hive, so providing high R-value top insulation is critical in ensuring overwintering success.
Crown Product Details
In a vacuum, no air molecules exist and without air molecules, heat transfer is greatly minimized. Think Thermos technology. Vacuum insulation panels are used in industries where extreme insulation is achieved in small spaces, for example, Yeti uses vacuum insulation panels in their coolers.
To maintain the integrity of the vacuum seal, our panel is protected with 3M aluminum cladding for optimal puncture resistance. In the unlikely event that the panel gets accidentally punctured, it will become easily bendable. Contact us for a free replacement.
