Dadant Blatt beehive NICOT®

Technical Features and Benefits

• Resilient and Safe Material: The recyclable food-grade plastic ensures durability against impacts, external aggressions, and chemicals, while being completely safe for bees. Rot-resistant and easy to clean, it helps maintain a hygienic environment with minimal intervention.
• Double-Wall System: Its double-wall design acts as thermal insulation and regulates humidity inside the hive. This structure protects the colony from extreme temperature changes, helping to maintain a dry and stable environment, ideal for bee development and brood rearing.
• Easy Maintenance and Disinfection: Its smooth, non-porous surface allows thorough cleaning by scraping or high-pressure spraying (60 °C) and with disinfectants like bleach, a significant advantage for beekeepers prioritizing hive hygiene. Disinfection options with bleach or caustic soda ensure effective removal of contaminants.
• Modular Design for Transhumance: Weighing only 10 kg, the NICOT hive is easy to transport and particularly suitable for migratory beekeeping. Its modular design allows the beekeeper to divide the hive as needed, providing flexibility in space management.

Kit Specifications

Important Note: This hive is a Dadant Blatt model (not Dadant US). The French Dadant Blatt frames have a top bar of 47 cm, compared to the 48 cm in Dadant US frames. This distinction is crucial to ensure compatibility, especially in regions like France and Italy, where the Dadant Blatt standard is common.
