Below i have included renders of my second design, I have included a double-wall feature where the air gap can act as insulation for the beehives and therefore lower the rate of heat transfer. 

Due to Covid-19 I am unable to manufacture this, instead I intend to run a thermal insulation to validate this design. For anyone who wishes to build this I will attach the CAD files (I suggest this be manufactured via CNC machining, with the frame holders be drilled into the main body using a hand drill machine or similar). 

This urban beehive has been designed to provide easier maintenance, and to be more aesthetically pleasing than current traditional beehives whilst providing a more natural enclosure for the honey bees. The hive has a volume of 45L as seen below, however this can be altered depending on adding or removal supers. 

Any feedback for my dissertation will be greatly appreciated.
