Polywoven strapping is the new generation material used to strap all of the components of the beehive (hive bottom, top, brood box and honey boxes) together as a single unit. In contrast to the metal strapping it supersedes, polywoven strapping is soft and easy to handle and with a breaking strain of 1000kg, is much stronger and durable. Where metal strapping develops metal fatigue and breaks from constantly being folded at the same point, the polywoven strapping can be used almost indefinitely without breaking. The strapping can handle up to 1000kg of strain.
