Please Itma read carefull technoset comercial information and maybe basic materail properties.
Please - my first degree was in Materials Science!
The material is described as Polypropylene.
Pure PP has a 'glass transition temperature' of around 0ºC. Loosely that is the temperature when, in a standardised test, the failure mode changes between ductile and brittle.
Try kicking a washing up bowl. It shouldn't crack or break.
Then leave it outdoors through midwinter.
Repeat the kick test on a sub-zero day. You'll very likely crack it.
Stress concentrators affect the practical behaviour of real items. Put simply, if it has sharp corners, on a cold day, it'll crack at the corner, rather than flexing as it might on a warmer day.
Foamed ("blow moulded") PP would be an interesting material for a beehive. But not a twinwall assembled structure of standard injection mouldings or cut sheets.
Really.
havent you ever had to do and artificial swarm with the oportunity to do it in the same box?
In a 'long hive' (Dartington or Kenyan TBH) you can do an AS
horizontally in the same
box. Needing to do an AS in any smaller
single box would be a bit of beekeeping failure.
Of course I've done Demaree AS's,
vertically in the same
hive.
I still have no idea what you think you mean by ""the posibility of splitting hive in three wich could be advantageous".
