Durox-Zamok Hive

Please contact for build instructions and roof pricing.

The DZ (Durox-Zamok) hive is effectively a Russian Zamok (the word means palace) hive built with Larfarge-Tarmac’s incredible new construction block. This block allow virtually no heat transfer through the walls, is impermeable, extremely light and easy to cut.

Inside the hive is divided into two completely independent compartments, each containing 14 frames each measuring 19” x 19”, although these could be run as one if necessary.

The DZ hive utilises a top entrance, which is more effective in preventing any undue heat build-up and incorporates a biological sump.

The DZ requires a solid and level foundation, which is not included in the kit. The hive comes as a kit which comprises the blocks, the roof unit, frames (flat pack), all the necessary fittings and assembly instructions.
