FAQs

Why use corrugated plastic for beehive media?
It’s lightweight, moisture-resistant, and easy to shape, making it a practical alternative to wood or other materials in hive construction.

Is repurposed corrugate safe for bees?
Yes—when properly cleaned and free of chemical residues, corrugated plastic can provide a stable, non-toxic environment for pollinators.

What other nature-based solutions can use corrugated plastic?
Beyond beehives, corrugated plastic can be used for nesting boxes, protective plant guards, and erosion control structures.

How do I start a repurposing initiative?
Connect with local beekeeping associations, conservation groups, and sustainability networks to identify needs and share resources.
