Nicot hives are made of a high quality PVC.
Cleaning is no problem at all for Nicot materials: with a high-pressure cleaner the hive will be spotless in no time.
The real Segeberger is a plastic hive, known for over 50 years for its sturdiness and longevity.
This light hive is also rain resistant and very insulating. This insulating power prevents mold on the combs in winter. Because the internal temperature drops less, the bees also need less food.
