Well, I did not realise that everyone does not know about these hives
and their uses, since they have been discussed from time to time here on
BEE-L. Rather than get into long explanations, I leave it for readers
to decide how polystyrene hives are supposed to be used and whether they
need additional insulation, and give me their comments.

There is also a PDF at Swienty, but I was unable to get the index or the
