The hive that whispers to the bees.This expanded cork beehive reinterprets the natural habitat of bees, offering them a refuge faithful to nature while meeting the demands of modern beekeeping. In a world where bees struggle against pesticides and climate change, this expanded cork hive provides a true breath of fresh air. Inspired by tree trunks, it recreates a habitat that respects their way of life.
