"I finally slept through the night without constantly waking up because of my back."I was tired of cutting and stapling tar paper every winter. I bought this wrap 2 years ago and haven’t gone back. My colonies come through winter stronger and burn less honey, leaving more for spring. It sets up in 20 seconds and fits my Langstroth hives perfectly.
How It Works
How It Works
The wrap adds insulation around the hive and slows heat loss through the walls. It also blocks cold wind, so the cluster does not have to work as hard to stay warm. Bees burn less honey through winter, which means more food left for them (preventing starvation) and more honey left for spring harvest.

Winter Protection Without Foam Boards, Tar Paper or Mess
Insulating your hives shouldn't mean cutting foam, stapling tar paper, taping seams, and storing bulky pieces for the rest of the year. This wrap gives your hive strong winter protection with a much easier setup — and you can use it again next season.
Your Bees Will Burn Less Honey
In winter, bees cluster together and burn stored honey to make heat. The colder it gets, the harder they work and the more honey they use.
Our 4-layer wrap slows heat loss and blocks cold wind that can disturb the cluster. This helps your girls stay warmer, work less, and burn less honey — preventing running out of food (starvation), and leaving more honey for spring harvest.
Open a Strong Hive This Spring
The goal is simple. Not just a colony that barely survived. A strong colony with honey left in spring. Give your girls more protection through winter and one less thing for you to worry about every time the temperature drops. Replacing a dead-out for $150+ in spring is not worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it have an R-value?
Does it have an R-value?
It does not have a formal R-value like building insulation. R-values are used for rigid materials in houses. Olictra Wrap works differently — by blocking wind, reducing heat loss, and stabilizing hive conditions, which is what matters most for bees in winter.
Does it work in very cold and windy areas?
Does it work in very cold and windy areas?
Yes. It was designed to block cold wind and heat loss, which are the biggest causes of winter hive stress. It’s especially helpful in windy, snowy, and fluctuating winter condition.
Can I use this instead of foam board insulation?
Can I use this instead of foam board insulation?
Yes! It's made to replace foam boards, tar paper, and temporary winter setups with one clean wrap that stays in place through storms and snow. Homemade insulation takes time to set up, shifts in storms, leaves gaps, and can do more harm than good if it traps moisture.
Can moisture build up inside the hive?
Can moisture build up inside the hive?
Our beehive wrap does not seal the hive airtight. Your entrances and normal winter ventilation stay open, so excess moisture can still escape.
Is it waterproof?
Is it waterproof?
Yes. The outer layer is made from waterproof polyester fiber to help protect the hive from rain, snow, and wet winter weather.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
What if it doesn’t work for me?
No worries at all. You’re covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk-free.
Is it okay to fall asleep on it?
Is it okay to fall asleep on it?
Many people drift off on the mat. If you have sensitive skin, keep sessions to about 20 minutes and use a thin T-shirt if you think you might fall asleep.
