Fuente: WIPO "apiculture" The present invention refers to a new composite material for production of beehive for apiculture use, and its manufacturing process. This composite material is made of cork and/or ligneous material, polymers, fire retardant and/or UV protector. The percentage of polymer in the composite varies between 10% and 75% and the blend of the granulated cork with the ligneous material between 25% and 90%. The material to be used must have a particle size which permit its use in extrusion and injection production lines, because the molding of the beehives is made through one of these processes. The beehive is composed by stand (A), sidewalls (H), front and rear walls (I), inner cover (E) and outer cover (F), and can be assembled in three different ways: traditional, in ramp and in step.
