{"product_id":"hiveiq-deep-box-9-frame","title":"HiveIQ Deep Box - 9 Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe HiveIQ Deep Box is the core building block of the HiveIQ insulated hive system. Each box holds 9 standard deep Langstroth frames and ships flat-packed — you assemble it with the included screws and exterior wood glue (not included). The 360-degree plastic protective edge around every box prevents hive tool damage at the corners and seals tightly with the box above and below, eliminating the gaps that let in small hive beetles and wax moths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint with water-based latex before installing — this protects the EPS from UV degradation.

It sits inside the box without disrupting the thermal seal — top feeders and entrance feeders don't integrate as cleanly with the insulated design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Insulated EPS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard wood hives bleed heat in winter and absorb it in summer, forcing bees to spend energy on temperature regulation instead of brood rearing and foraging. HiveIQ EPS has roughly 6x the insulation value of wood. The interlocking box design seals each joint, so the thermal performance holds as long as the hive is assembled correctly. We've run both setups side by side and the difference in winter cluster size and spring buildup speed is real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAssembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssemble with exterior wood glue in the joints and the included stainless screws.
