top bars roughly 1/8" below can reach 122F."

That shows how much warmth can get through wood and suggests that it is 
useful to have hives placed where the sun can strike them slanticularly 
during the winter to enable the cluster to expand and reach new stores. 
 Don't bother if you use polystyrene!..
