I am in north central ohio i dont vent hives and use 2" entrance all year. i build telescoping top cover with 2" insulation. dont insulate sides need dew point on sidewalls so any moisture will form on sides to give them water for drinking (top stays dry)

my bees hibernate perfectly in a wooden hive with a wall thickness of 4 cm. I don't insulate it with anything, just a wool pillow on top. when there is a lot of snow, I cover the hive with snow along with the roof. I live in Russia, and in winter they stay up to -35 Celsius for weeks. none of my hives froze in winter, all the families are strong in spring. bees don't die from frost, they die from dampness. And they need 25 kilograms of honey for the winter.

I am in the sandhills of NC. This year was hot and dry, and recently we had a sudden change in temperature. From the 90s to the 70s. And this year we are supposed to have a cold winter. My Hives are made of 2x10 material. I shear sheep's wool, and I am hoping it will be enough. Winter Temperature Breakdown by Month: December: Average high of 54°F to 61°F, average low of 33°F to 40°F.January (Coldest Month): Average high of 52°F to 57°F, average low of 32°F to 37°F.February: Average high of 56°F to 60°F, average low of 34°F to 39°F. These are our average winter temps. What do you all think?
