The use of cork in the thermoregulation of the hive: an innovation attempt to enhance non-wood products and beekeeping in Mediterranean forests
Hive thermoregulation is fundamental cent dyyni for the normal development of bee colonies and, consequently, hive productivity and honey bee health.External conditions mainly affect the walls of the hive.Therefore, hive construction materials and thermal conductivity features can influence its thermoregulation efficiency.The present trial made a c
