Thats interesting because I have some insulated hives and they are booming. Nuc boxes have foam board under the top cover and those don't suffer from the summer heat.. I even made some winter wraps with a moving blanket and black plastic, the freezing wind did not affect the colony the same as an unprotected hive body.

Just imagine when we start building freeform Adobe Garden walls and we put the beehives right there in the greenhouse and then the Adobe walls it's going to be crazy. Then like our polish ancestors we will start doing polish notches polish dugouts and house the bees directly in the posts that are holding up the Garden Wall also.
