The wall composition, from the outside to the inside, is: an aluminium reflective foil for radiant heat, insulating bubble wrap, a protective concrete render of 3-4mm, 30mm layers of polystyrene, a 20mm sealed air pocket, 30mm of internal polystyrene layers, and an internal concrete render with a minimum thickness of 4-5mm. This is a multi-layered system with an overall width of almost 90mm.<\/li><li>Internal concrete plaster protects the polystyrene, acts as a strong thermal mass for moisture, which improves the microclimate. External plaster protects the perimeter structure and guarantees its stability.<\/li><li>The system is hermetically sealed apart from construction openings; it does not undergo thermal or moisture expansion.<\/li><li>In case of a very cold spring or spring frosts, a warming gel pad (a bag with gel which gradually releases heat after warming up) is placed on the top grate. This way, the hive can safely maintain its internal temperature for at least 12 hours without the need for additional heating or other thermal protection, moving the hives to rooms, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a27877 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a27877\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"attachment_25296\" style=\"width: 644px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25296\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cmelaci-plus-rez-ulem-z-polystyrenu.jpg\" alt=\"Polystyrene beehive cut according to Beehives Plus\" width=\"634\" height=\"868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cmelaci-plus-rez-ulem-z-polystyrenu.jpg 634w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cmelaci-plus-rez-ulem-z-polystyrenu-219x300.jpg 219w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hive layer diagram<br \/>Internal fittings are missing<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d58c6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d58c6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"attachment_25297\" style=\"width: 1666px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25297\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monitor-teploty.jpg\" alt=\"frost temperature graph\" width=\"1656\" height=\"892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monitor-teploty.jpg 1656w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monitor-teploty-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monitor-teploty-1024x552.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monitor-teploty-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monitor-teploty-1536x827.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monitor-teploty-1232x664.jpg 1232w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monitor-teploty-1320x711.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1656px) 100vw, 1656px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Testing hive behaviour during frost in January.<br \/>One gel insert heated for 3 minutes in boiling water.<br \/>With three shifts of 8 hours each, it was possible to maintain a temperature above 4\u00b0C in the hive even in January.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-204c988 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"204c988\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Anti-parasitic and sanitary protection:<\/h5><ul><li>Breeding takes place on a fine wire mesh, where condensation water, small waste and some parasites (typically mites, larvae of Antherophagus nigricornis and fly pupae) fall through to the floor, which has a sloped waste channel in the centre with the possibility of cleaning even during the colony's lifetime.
