Description
🐝 The Low Consumption Beehive (LCH) - A revolutionary beekeeping innovation
Discover the low-energy hive (RBC), a method inspired by nature that redefines modern beekeeping.
This book, written by Marc Guillemain, with Jean Riondet and Damien Merit, is aimed at both professional and amateur beekeepers.
It helps to improve thermal comfort colonies and, thus, à reduce excess winter mortality.
🌳 An approach based on the bees' natural habitat
Modern hives often lack insulation.
This is why Marc Guillemain was inspired by tree trunk, the natural habitat of bees, to develop the PIHP (High Performance Insulated Partition).
This innovation combines two simple principles:
-
a reflective insulation which reflects heat back to the brood; ;
-
a thermal insulation which limits energy loss.
Thanks to this approach, a stable microclimate settles in the hive.
It promotes bee vitality and their harmonious development throughout the year.
📖 What you will learn in this book
-
The principles of the PIHP method and its concrete benefits.
-
From useful tips to insulate your hives more effectively.
-
How to apply the RBC method in your modern apiaries.
The book also provides useful feedback on how to adapt the method to different beekeeping environments.
🐝 A low-energy hive for sustainable beekeeping
This book shows that a suitable insulation allows reduce energy consumption and improve colony welfare.
In fact, a well-insulated beehive encourages better regulation of internal temperature, This limits variations and maintains the stability of the colony.
So, In this way, bees expend less energy and store more reserves for cold periods.
Transform your beekeeping practices with the Low consumption hive (RBC).
Treat your bees the comfort of a tree trunk in a modern hive.
