Parker Full Depth Plastic Hive Box – 10 Frame

Move beyond traditional timber woodenware with the Parker 10-Frame Full Depth Plastic Hive Box from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

Manufactured by Parker Engineering Dunmore in Australia, this box uses UV-stabilised food-grade structural plastic to create a durable alternative to conventional pine.

Australian-Manufactured Structural Plastic

The Parker box is built from long-life UV-stabilised material designed for outdoor hive use.

It does not require painting before entering the apiary and is resistant to termites.

The smooth plastic surface is also straightforward to clean.

Full Depth 10-Frame Format

The box is designed around standard 10-frame Full Depth equipment.

It can be used with compatible conventional hive components, including timber equipment, allowing a beekeeper to introduce plastic boxes without necessarily converting every part of the hive at once.

No Timber Treatment Required

A conventional unfinished pine box needs assembly and exterior treatment before long-term use.

Plastic removes that painting and oiling step.

This can be useful for beekeepers who want lower workshop maintenance or who manage enough equipment that regular repainting becomes time consuming.

Registration Identification

The box can be marked or branded with the beekeeper’s registration number, helping keep equipment identifiable in larger apiaries.
