An excellent place to get sheets of insulation is from old commercial
chicken houses like the tyson or purdue houses that have been removed from
service or being torn down. They use 4x8 sheets atleast 1 inch thick on the
roofs...just a cheap thought if you have a number of hives...

Most of the heat is lost by the top, not by the sides. I understand it is
better to leave space on the sides for the bees to form a better cluster.
Insulation on the top.

Something to read about heat in the winter cluster
